Birdsnest Rings

Instructor: Jennifer Tough

"With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
She shall have music wherever she goes. "

I'll leave it up for you to decide if you want to wire on some bells and go galloping away to Banbury Cross. You will however come out of this workshop with enough rings for each finger. Once you get the hang of it, you can create one of these fabulous rings in as little as 10 minutes.
Fun and Addictive!

Instructor: Jennifer was born in Toronto, Canada, and has made jewellery since the age of 16. She discovered lampwork techniques in 1999, and by the end of that same year, established a small studio in her own home. By the end of the following year she had gone further to establish the first beadmaking lampwork studio, open to the general public, in all of Canada. Jennifer has always had an intense passion for her art, combined with a keen and focused vision to bring the elements to reality. She is now excited about the possibilities of combining metal clay with lampwork beads. Jennifer currently lives in Whitby, Ontario with her bemused, and ever supportive husband Dan, their two daughters, Maya and Isla, and a lazy yellow lab named Luna.
