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.

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 ......
