I recently teamed up with haberdashery + workshop provider Make at 140 to teach a hen party workshop in Plymouth!
The bridal party wanted to make freshwater pearl and crystal bridal hair combs that they would wear on the big day. How exciting!
Well, I had never made a hair comb before, let alone taught somebody to make one! But when Lizzy from Make at 140 asked if I would be interested in teaching the workshop I was sure I could teach myself in time!
I started by Googling images of wedding hair accessories so that I could check what type of hair comb the bride would like, and then used YouTube to teach myself wire beading techniques. LOL. Honestly, I don’t use YouTube enough - there are so many useful tutorials on there, I’d recommend looking up WHATEVER you’re trying to learn and see what you can find next time!
On the day of the workshop we had a beautiful large workshop space at Ocean Studios in Royal William Yard, Plymouth. Lizzy had organised tea, coffee and fresh pastries for the group - and it was my lucky day because I got to snaffle the spare pastry! :p
The hen party all made a variation of the same style of hair comb, using a combination of grey and white freshwater pearls, glass crystals and silver wire.
You can see photos from the workshop below, including their finished bespoke wedding hair accessories! I think they did an amazing job!
