SATURDAY WORKSHOP | DUBLIN | 1/2 DAY
Beads and Crystals are delighted to introduce our TWO STRAND PEARL STRINGING TECHNIQUE Stringing pearls correctly is a very specific skill. 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. On this half day course we aim to create a full length necklace, using the TWO STRAND KNOTTING TECHNIQUE. This pearl stringing technique is completely different to using a knotting tool. You will learn how to knot the pearls very closely together and learn about the variety of tools required, threading material and catches available. 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 8th of NOVEMBER 2025 from 10:30 pm to 1:00 pm. This workshop has been specifically designed to maximise your learning experience. 6 students per class.
