Class description
Discover your creative streak in our DIY bead weaving jewelry workshop! In a relaxed atmosphere, you will learn how to make your own pair of earrings using the fascinating bead weaving technique using needles, thread and colorful beads. This workshop offers you the perfect opportunity to try out craftsmanship and learn to make individual pieces of jewelry using bead weaving technique (peyote beadwork) that reflect your personality.
We start with an introduction to the basics of bead weaving technology at a beginner level, which will enable you to quickly achieve your own results. First, we review a few models so that we can develop an idea of the design options. This is how you can find initial ideas for your personal design. We will then go through the start of the project together step by step — as an illustration, you will receive a sketch that clearly explains the first steps to you.
Your own design is required! You can create a small simple color sketch for your earring and choose the appropriate pearls from our range of products. As soon as you're ready to go, you'll start threading on your own — don't worry, I'll be there if you need help and we'll start with a small and simple model. As we go on, I'll show you how to fix the band cleanly and stably at the end so that your work lasts a long time.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced jewelry maker, you're guaranteed to have lots of fun and go home with a beautiful piece of handmade jewelry. Let your creativity run wild and create something unique at your own pace and according to your own ideas!
