SATURDAY WORKSHOP | DUBLIN | 1 DAY
Beads and Crystals are delighted to introduce our ONE DAY LOOM WORK CLASS This technique has been used for hundreds of years to make a wide variety of adornments and other projects. Beadwork created on a loom has a lovely fabric like drape and it very comfortable to wear. Spend a creative day learning to make a beautiful beaded bracelet using a bead loom. You will learn how to set up a loom, what threading materials, needles and beads to use. We'll explore techniques on how to finish loom work and how to invisibly rethread during the bracelet. You will receive a kit with different colour beads, thread, needle and a fully illustrated easy to read, computer generated colour pattern. We aim and complete a bracelet during the day plus you will have additional materials and instructions to make a second, larger bracelet at your leisure. This course will be delivered by Stacey Kemp who has over 30 years experience in the hand craft industry. Stacey has had many jewellery designs published in the UK and the US.

SATURDAY WORKSHOP | DUBLIN | 1/2 DAY
Beads and Crystals are delighted to introduce our PEARL STRINGING CLASSIC Stringing pearls correctly is a very specific skill. On this half day course we aim to create a full length necklace, using the Knotting Tool technique. This is an invaluable technique to achieve professional knotting between beads. Learn about the variety of tools required, threading material and catches available. Adding knots between pearls prevents the pearls from touching which protects the ‘nacre’ of a natural pearl. Traditional silk thread used in the class creates a wonderful drape to your necklace. All materials are included in the cost. This course will be delivered by Stacey Kemp who has over 30 years experience in the hand craft industry. Stacey has had many jewellery designs published in the UK and the US. Starting Saturday morning on the 15th of OCTOBER 2025 from 10:30 pm to 1:00 pm. This workshop has been specifically designed to maximise your learning experience. A small list will be issued of the tools required. 6 students per class.
