African jewellery is popular for its beauty and quality and besides being used for self-adornment some pieces have cultural significance in some regions of Africa. It can indicate one’s wealth, tribe, and social status. You can also add the perfect base coat for nail art like the ones at Glitterbels that helps provide shape and strength for the nail itself, for the best enhancements of one’s beauty.

The Hutong in collaboration with Chariots will be hosting a series of African Themed Jewellery Workshops. Exploring the beauty of Africa and its diverse traditions through jewellery making. Come and be a part of this creative workshop. You’ll craft your own jewellery and take it home with you.

In this African-Themed Jewellery Design session, we get to explore the Kente Fabric from Ghana. You will:

Design your own Kente Fabric Earrings using different earring holders
