  • Learn the essentials of workshop safety – Get comfortable with the torch and tools before you start.

  • Shape and decorate your beads – Explore various techniques to add patterns, dots, or swirls to your designs.
  • Create as many pieces as you like – Enjoy the freedom to make multiple beads within the session.
If you’ve been feeling a bit nervous about trying something so technical, you can relax knowing that this class is designed specifically for first-timers. Everything is set up for you, and your expert tutor will be right there to provide hands-on help every step of the way. It’s a great opportunity to switch off from the digital world and focus on the tactile joy of making.
You'll finish the session feeling inspired by your new-found skills, taking home a collection of bespoke glass beads that serve as a beautiful reminder of your afternoon of discovery.

Good instruction and attention, nice facilities and everyone was really friendly. Even though it was tricky we came away with nice beads, great sense of accomplishment. Thanks everyone but especially Hannah for the great teaching
  • 5/5 from Dasha Savanovich, attended Sep 2026: This was very fun, but challenging. I had quite a lot of issues with bead release (probably stemming fron being a beginner). The teacher was great and did her best to help me get the beads off the mandrels. This is definitely harder than their creative workshop, but the studio is great.
  • 5/5 from Benjamin T Roberts, attended Jul 2026: Second class I did in same day. Really enjoyed it. It was hard work and took some trial and error but I came away with a good bracelet. I found the Creative Workshop easier but that's preference. Would recommend to anyone with time to spare in London.
  • 5/5 from Hannah O’Connor, attended Apr 2026: Short but sweet! Perfect if you just want to try something new. I managed to make a couple of cute beads and learned a lot in a short time.
  • 5/5 from Thomas Adeyemi, attended Apr 2026: Really fun and creative workshop. Easy to follow even as a beginner, and you get a lot of freedom with colours and designs. Would definitely recommend.
  • 5/5 from Priya Patel, attended Apr 2026: Great experience overall. Megan explained each step clearly and made sure everyone was comfortable before moving on. It’s quite hands-on and you can experiment with different shapes and colours. I only wish I booked a longer session!

  • 5/5 from Chiara Bellini, attended Apr 2026: Had such a great time at this workshop! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it turned out to be really engaging and fun. The tutor, Hannah, was super patient and explained everything clearly, especially when it came to controlling the heat and shaping the glass. I loved experimenting with different colours and patterns, and ended up making a few beads I’d actually use for jewellery. Would definitely come back to try more advanced designs.
  • 5/5 from Sofia Ivanova, attended Apr 2026: Short but fun, great intro to glass bead making Will come back and make more flowers. recommend for at least 2 hours

  • 5/5 from Farida Khan, attended Apr 2026: This workshop was such a great mix of relaxing and challenging. Once you get into the rhythm of melting and shaping the glass, it becomes quite calming. The tutor was attentive and gave useful tips on shaping and decorating the beads, but still let us experiment with our own ideas. I also liked that everyone’s pieces turned out completely different. It felt very personal and rewarding, and I’d definitely come back to try more advanced designs.
  • 5/5 from Hannah Trevelyan, attended Apr 2026: Short but enjoyable! Good intro if you just want to try something creative without too much commitment.

  • 5/5 from Zainab Mahmood, attended Apr 2026: Such a fun and different experience! I didn’t expect bead making to be this engaging. The tutor, Olivia, was really patient and made sure everyone understood each step. Loved playing around with colours and patterns.
  • 5/5 from Esme Hollowell, attended Apr 2026: Honestly one of the most unique workshops I’ve done. The whole process of heating, shaping, and decorating the beads is really engaging, and you get quite a bit of freedom with your designs. The tutor was attentive and made sure everyone felt safe and confident throughout. I also appreciated that there was enough time to make multiple beads and try different techniques. Would definitely come back again!

I’d happily come back and do this again, maybe even try a longer class next time.
  • 5/5 from Lucy Whitmore, attended Apr 2026: Booked this with a friend and we both loved it. It’s quite hands-on and a bit tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s super satisfying. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and Sophie was always nearby to help without being overbearing.
  • 5/5 from Zara Khan, attended Apr 2026: Such a great experience! I’ve never tried anything like this before and making glass beads was surprisingly addictive. The tutor was really patient and made sure everyone felt confident before using the torch. I ended up making a few beads that I actually want to turn into jewellery.
  • 5/5 from Sophie Bennett, attended Apr 2026: Lovely little class, very friendly vibe and easy to follow instructions. Perfect for beginners and you get to take home your own handmade beads at the end.
  • 5/5 from Emily Carter, attended Apr 2026: I booked this on a whim and it ended up being one of the highlights of my week. The process is surprisingly relaxing once you get into it. I made a few beads that I’m actually proud of, which I didn’t expect at all.
