  Summer Memories! Don't let your memories fade—wear them instead! Jewelry-Making Workshop
  

  Summer has a way of leaving behind little treasures - a smooth stone from a river stream, a weathered piece of driftwood, or a shell found on the shore. These found objects often carry the memories of our most cherished stories. In this workshop, you'll make a unique and one-of-a-kind pendant necklace to give your personal memories a permanent home.

  Bring a special souvenir from Summer to feature in your necklace, or pick from a wide variety of materials to craft your design - driftwood, beach glass, theme-related charms, and more. Learn basic jewelry-making techniques and how to incorporate that special memento into your pendant.

  Whether you're a seasoned maker or picking up pliers for the first time, everything you need to create a handcrafted reminder of your favourite summer days will be provided.
