LEARN TO MAKE YOUR OWN JEWELRY, BELTS AND OTHER ITEMS 

Let’s discover how different cultures used to decorate themselves with clothing, jewelry and other accessories. Create and decorate your own jewelry and accessories with beads and various other materials at hand...head to toe personal adornment. 
 
The Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum, situated at 1 Park Drive, Port Elizabeth, will host a number of workshops in December and January to show interested children how to use beads and other material to make headpieces, bracelets, belts, necklaces, purses and anklets amongst others.
