Description:
Welcome to your new favourite class of all time! Yep, we are mixing gin with jewellery so you can mix your gin, er, with jewellery! Of course you want to make a sexy wee gin stirrer so you can sip your wee [or huge] gin and make it look pretty at the same time! Who knew you could improve on your look, but there you go.
In this BRAND NEW workshop for beginners, you’ll be taken through the steps required to create your own, personalised gin stirrer. You’ll get the option of a variety of techniques which you use to make the stirrer your very own, or why not make a gift for someone you totally love?
Not only will you make your own special piece of silverware, but we will also be giving you YOUR VERY OWN bottle of bevvy. You’ll receive a very special, unique bottle from an amazing local distillery. Gin and jewellery… the perfect combination!
Oh, and after the class, why don’t we give you the chance to use your brand new stirrer by pouring you a large one from our own bottle and selecting from our choice of fruits and garnishes! A good way to celebrate [sorry drivers]
<< please note - you have the option to select ‘stirrer only’ at the checkout if you don’t want to include the bottle of gin [who even are you] >>
