Pearl Beading Workshop – The Art of Chenille Stitch Jewellery
Discover the beautiful art of pearl beading and create your own elegant jewellery using the decorative Chenille Stitch technique.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to use two complementary colours of size 11 seed beads to create intricate beadwork, encasing beautiful pearls to produce stunning textured designs. You'll be introduced to the techniques of increasing and decreasing your beadwork to achieve a neat, decorative finish around each pearl.
Whether you're completely new to beading or have some experience and are ready to develop your skills further, this workshop offers an enjoyable and rewarding project.
Choose your project to suit your experience:
  • Beginners: Learn the foundations of Chenille Stitch while creating a beautiful 14mm pearl pendant, together with matching earrings featuring smaller 6mm pearls. Your tutor will guide you through each stage, helping you develop confidence with the technique.
  • Intermediate & Advanced: Take your beadwork further by creating a more intricate jewellery collection, featuring a statement 14mm pearl pendant, a beautifully beaded necklace rope, matching bracelet and earrings using 6mm pearls.
The projects will be started during the workshop, with the opportunity to complete your jewellery at home in your own time.
Full instructions are provided for all projects, including clear written explanations and step-by-step diagrams, so you can revisit the techniques and confidently continue your work after the class.
With expert guidance, plenty of encouragement and the opportunity to learn something new, you'll enjoy a creative day exploring the possibilities of pearl and seed bead jewellery.
Come along, discover the art of Chenille Stitch and create something beautiful to wear or give as a special handmade gift!
