THE CRAFT

Artisan Assembly

After you curate your layout, a skilled Brackish artisan professionally assembles the final piece, turning individual components and textures into a finished bracelet.

THE DESIGN

Curate Your Own Layout

Guests select from a range of components, textures and colors to design a one-of-a-kind cuff—an exercise in personal aesthetic that results in a tangible keepsake.

THE SETTING

Finish on the Drayton Hall Grounds

Once the cuff is complete, participants are invited to stay and enjoy the grounds and galleries of Drayton Hall, extending the experience from studio to landscape.

What the workshop feels like

The flow is concise and focused: for roughly thirty minutes you curate a bracelet design from curated components, then work alongside a Brackish artisan who brings that design to life. The result is a polished, personal bracelet you take with you; afterward the pace slows as you move out onto Drayton Hall’s grounds and into its galleries.
