Who is your tutor
: Sandra McArdle's interest in silver jewellery making started many years ago. In 2016 Sandra graduated from the London Jewellery School, Hatton Garden, with a Diploma in Silver Jewellery (distinction) and started Sandra McArdle Jewellery. Sandra loves working with silver and semi precious stones to create an object of beauty. She is inspired by the way silver changes and responds as it’s worked on to create that final piece and to be part of that process is so rewarding.

Duration: 1pm - 5pm
