I am now holding Marketing & Design Workshops in primary schools enabling children to plan, design & create their own piece of jewellery. Please download the PDF below with more details, if you would like to arrange a workshop at your school, or call me to discuss further.

Workshops Summary pdf

The children are taken through each step of planning & designing a necklace or bracelet - thinking about their 4 P's of Marketing : Product, Price, Place & Promotion.

Throughout the day they will :

1) Write a Marketing & Product Brief

2) Calculate RSP, Cost of Goods & Profit Margin

3) Create a Mood Board

4) Design a piece of Jewellery looking at materials

5) Create a piece of Jewellery

6) Complete a Project Evaluation

They will also be encouraged to share their ideas with the rest of the class to gain confidence in basic presentation skills

The workshop fits with the National Curriculum, encouraging enterprise : developing the ability to be innovative, adapt to change & identify opportunities. It also develops a greater knowledge of business & how these skills can benefit them in the future.

The photos shown are from North Curry Primary School where 28 children from Years 5 and 6 joined in a full day's workshop resulting in some fantastic work. Not only do the children learn a great deal from the day but is very enjoyable too - here are just a few of their comments ......
