Pinkhot Beaders – Online Zoom Beading Group

Small and friendly beading group – come and join us! 

Bring your own beading projects and come along for a natter to meet like-minded people. Friendly designer and teacher Chloe Menage will be on-hand to answer questions.

In lockdown, Chloe set up a virtual bead group to bring beaders around the world together to bead and chat together. The group is free to join and open to all beaders, of any ability, who would like to join us. It takes place every two weeks on a Thursday, via Zoom.

We are a small and friendly bunch of mixed abilities and mediums from all around the world. Jewellery makers and beaders of all levels and experience are welcome. We chat about beads, crafts, life and generally put the world to rights. You’ll find a friendly welcome.

  • Join us in our FREE fortnightly Zoom catch-ups.

  • Alternate Thursdays, 12.30-2pm UK time.

  • All welcome!

The meeting will take place via Zoom. You will need a computer, smart phone or tablet with audio and video capabilities. No need to book, just turn up! Check your time zone here.

Pinkhot Beaders is an online group but occasionally we manage to meet up in real life too! In 2025 we entered the Beadworkers Guild Challenge with our Mardi Gras-themed entry. Read more about this and watch the film over on my blog.

Beading on Hayling Island and Hampshire

Prior to the 2020 lockdown Pinkhot Beaders met at Chloe’s home studio on Hayling Island. A combination of Covid-19 changes and also family demands mean that this is no longer viable. If you would like to arrange a private or 1-1 beading class locally please do contact Chloe.
