Join us for a hands-on pearl stringing and knotting workshop in Leeds with the wonderful Diane Fennell, where you'll learn traditional techniques to give your handmade jewellery a beautifully professional finish. You will make a beautiful knotted bracelet.
During the workshop, Diane will demonstrate how to use wire guardians and French wire to protect and strengthen your designs, as well as how to securely attach clasps using crimp tubes and crimp covers. She'll also explore different methods of pearl knotting and introduce a selection of helpful beading tools and "helping hands" that can make stringing and finishing easier and more enjoyable.
Whether you're new to knotting or looking to refine your skills, you'll leave with a wealth of practical tips, traditional techniques, and the confidence to create jewellery that's both beautiful and built to last.
