Class description
Discover your creative side in our unique 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 sparkling pearls. This workshop gives you the perfect opportunity to try out your craft and create individual pieces of jewelry that reflect your personality.
We'll start with an inspiring introduction where we'll look at different earring models. This will give you an impression of the numerous design options and find initial ideas for your personal design. We then go through the start of the project together step by step — very simply using a copy that clearly explains various techniques to you.
Your own design is required! You create a small simple color sketch for your earring and select the matching beads. As soon as you're ready to go, you'll start threading on your own — don't worry, I'm always there when you need help and we'll start with very simple models. 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!
