In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to use two complementary colours of size 11 seed beads to create intricate beadwork, encasing beautiful pearls to produce stunning textured designs. You'll be introduced to the techniques of increasing and decreasing your beadwork to achieve a neat, decorative finish around each pearl.

Choose your project to suit your experience:
Beginners: Learn the foundations of Chenille Stitch while creating a beautiful 14mm pearl pendant, together with matching earrings featuring smaller 6mm pearls. Your tutor will guide you through each stage, helping you develop confidence with the technique.
Intermediate & Advanced: Take your beadwork further by creating a more intricate jewellery collection, featuring a statement 14mm pearl pendant, a beautifully beaded necklace rope, matching bracelet and earrings using 6mm pearls.
The projects will be started during the workshop, with the opportunity to complete your jewellery at home in your own time.
Full instructions are provided for all projects, including clear written explanations and step-by-step diagrams, so you can revisit the techniques and confidently continue your work after the class.
