Margi says: ‘Hi, I’m Margi – a passionate jewellery artist specialising in crystal wire wrapping. I’ve been creating with wire and stone for over  four years, and what started as a personal creative outlet has grown into a deep love for helping others discover this beautiful, mindful art form. I run relaxed and welcoming workshops designed for all skill levels – including complete beginners. I love guiding people through the basics of wire wrapping and weaving, and there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone leave with a piece they’ve created themselves – full of pride and inspiration to keep going.

My goal is to demystify the process, share what I’ve learned, and show that you don’t need fancy tools or years of experience to make elegant, meaningful jewellery. Just a little guidance, some copper wire, and your imagination.

Come along and see what your hands can create!’
