Tatty Devine will be holding a jewellery-making workshop at the Westbourne Grove shop. Create something personal by bringing along any jewellery you no longer wear, and mix it with shop donations and Tatty Devine findings to create a unique new piece, guided by Tatty Devine designers Rosie Wolfenden and Harriet Vine.

Refreshments will be provided and every workshopper will receive a Tatty Devine goodie bag. Our usual eclectic mix of designer goodies will also be on display, ready for you to browse. You can turn up on the day, or to guarantee your place, book in advance.
