Anna Bastiaan / Embroidered Silk Bracelet Workshop / 24th July

Anna Bastiaan - Embroidered Silk Bracelet Workshop / 10am - 4pm Friday 24th July 2026
@ Calico & Ivy

As part of her collection of regular works, Anna crafts exquisite silk bracelets adorned with embroidery, sequins, glass beads and vintage treasures such as enamel painted brass charms - and now she is running a special class to teach you how to make your own.

Class price includes all the materials curated by Anna to help you make your dream bracelet. Enjoy a day surrounded by Anna's incredible collection of dyed silks, old enamel-painted vintage charms, raw brass beads, European glass beads, French embroidery floss, sequins and other embellishing materials which she will bring for you to select from. Anna’s treasures have been sourced over time from all over the world, and some are quite old and rare, making them extra special to include in your project. You are also
welcome to bring your own special treasures or charms along to add to your piece - the intention is for you to make something that is meaningful to you. It promises to be a gloriously creative day!

Anna will also bring some of her own silk bracelets, co-ordinating charm bracelets and additional kits to make available on the day.

Ticket fee includes tuition, materials and refreshments. 

Please bring basic sewing supplies - needle, thread, snips.
