Jewellery making is a great activity for all ages. It develops fine motor skills and is a very tactile experience for children. It also provides an opportunity for senior students to learn the product design process. There are so many exciting materials that can be used to create unique jewellery pieces, including wire, resin, plastic, metal, wood and fibres.
