Design and create your own unique beaded jewellery — combining creative freedom with professional finishing.
Join us at Made By Me Workshop for a relaxed yet skill-building jewellery-making class designed for adults who love beautiful materials and creative self-expression.
In this workshop, you’ll make your own princess-length necklace (18” / 46 cm) using a curated collection of glass, semi-precious and feature beads chosen for their quality, colour and texture. The class fee includes all materials for your necklace, and if time allows, you can also choose to add a bracelet, earrings or keychain. Additional pieces and premium materials can be purchased on the day.
This workshop blends creativity with craftsmanship. You’ll learn how to design and plan your layout, string, crimp and knot with confidence, and apply professional finishing techniques to ensure your pieces look polished and durable. We’ll also explore ways to link beads to create earrings or charms, and discuss options for incorporating small, elegant charms into your design for a personalised touch.
Throughout the class, you’ll have access to Rebecca’s personal bead collection, carefully gathered over several years and now brought together for this special workshop. With the jewellery stacking trend thriving, it’s the perfect opportunity to make something personal and stylish to add to your collection.
You’ll also have the freedom to choose from a range of cords and threads — from refined neutrals to vibrant pops of colour — so your finished piece reflects your unique style. Whether you prefer understated simplicity or bold expression, you’ll leave with a piece that looks professionally made and entirely your own.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to design and plan a cohesive jewellery piece using a layout board
- Stringing, crimping and knotting techniques for professional results
- How to start and finish your pieces neatly and securely
- Options for adding linked beads or charms to create earrings or pendants
- How to balance colour, texture and proportion in your designs
You’ll Take Home:
- One finished princess-length (18” / 46 cm) necklace
- The skills and confidence to design and assemble future pieces
- Knowledge of materials and where to source them locally
- Access to premium beads and findings for optional upgrades or additional pieces
