Cascading Capiz Shell Earring Workshop: Make Wearable Wind Chimes

What You'll Do

Create your own pair of cascading Capiz shell earrings inspired by Filipino heritage in this relaxed, beginner-friendly jewellery-making workshop in Manchester City Centre. You'll assemble an Araw stud top (Araw means sun in Tagalog) and learn how to create the cascading effect using jump rings, giving your earrings that light, wearable wind-chime movement.

You'll be welcomed into a warm, unhurried studio space made for first-timers. Think cosy crafting in a Filipino family home, with a comforting drink, good company and a little treat to take home.

In this experience, you will:

• Discover the story and history of Capiz shell in the Philippines
• Choose your finish: gold (18K PVD-plated stainless steel) or silver (stainless steel), both nickel-free and hypoallergenic
• Learn how to open and close jump rings neatly and securely
• Assemble and balance your cascading Capiz shell drops for a polished finish
• Take home one finished pair of earrings, plus a jewellery pouch and care tips

You'll leave with a one-of-a-kind keepsake you made yourself, plus the joy of knowing you've learnt a new skill in a feel-good, low-pressure afternoon of making.
