Beading is an attractive, colourful and impressive craft in any application. The only downside is how much time it can take, when you 're sewing bead by bead.

In this beginner class we will be working with beads and learning about beading, but we're going to fast track the process.

With a design in mind we can string long strands of beads which we then glue into place on a secure backing. By keeping the beads altogether on a strand you won't have any beads falling off or sections un-threading.

And the results are just as impressive! Some come flex your creative and curious minds and try No-Sew beading to make a fun piece of jewellery.

This is a beginning friendly class with all materials provided, including different types of jewellery fixings.

What will we cover?

In this hands-on beaded workshop you will learn:

Tips on bead threading - materials and tools
Design tips - not too small and fiddly, clear shapes
Using different beads to enhance your design
Different jewellery fixings and how to attach them

What should I bring?

All materials are provided, but please bring something to take your project home safely, such as a small bag/purse.
