Last night was a pretty momentous occasion for Nora's...
We held our very first workshop!
After over 2 years of 'we really should do a workshop' talk we finally got things organised and with the help of the wonderful Libby Jubb we hosted a Jewellery Demonstration and Workshop here at the shop last night.

There were just 6 places available on this workshop and thanks to the girls at Approach PR the Ilkley Gazette kindly mentioned the workshop in the paper last week and we sold out within a few days!
Libby is based in Ilkley and we have been selling her very distinctive and feminine pieces at Nora's for over 2 years now. Ever popular, we were thrilled when she agreed to hold the workshop with us!
So, after much discussion we decided that her 'crochet' range would make a great beginners project and was something that could be completed in a 2 hour period.
Using a combination of sterling silver wire and semi precious stones, the ladies had a choice of making either a pair of drop earrings (as shown above) or a bracelet.
5 out of the 6 chose to do a bracelet and one lady made a pair of earrings. So after a demonstration from Libby and with the help of some delicious 'nibbles' (thanks mum!) and a couple of glasses of 'vino' they got cracking!
Here they are busy making (look at the concentration on their faces!)
