This virtual workshop will be taught over two x 2 1/2 hour sessions. You will be sent a PDF pattern upon booking to print at home – please note for this class, the booklet will be available one month before the class date and will be emailed to you then.
In this online beading workshop we will explore the delight of beaded lockets. Based on my popular beaded locket patterns, this class is the ultimate exploration of the possibilities offered by these keepsakes. The lockets use peyote stitch as their base and in the class I will help you design and create your own unique beaded locket with added embellishment, hinges and a clasp.
You’ll need an 18mm x 25mm cabochon, (or photo and acetate), Delica beads and a selection of other beads to embellish. Come armed with ideas and inspiration and I’ll help you design and bring to life your perfect beaded locket keepsake.
A knowledge of peyote stitch is recommended for this class and a little experience of bezelling cabochons would be helpful but not essential.
Online Workshop Requirements
The class will be taught using Zoom online meeting software. This will allow you to see me and your fellow classmates (you will have the ability to mute or turn off your camera at any point if you wish). We can also share photos as we work.
You will need a computer/laptop, smartphone or tablet with camera and audio capabilities. You will need to download the free Zoom software or app to your computer, phone or tablet in advance of the meeting. Full details of how to join the online meeting will be sent to you upon booking. The app/software is free and you do not need to create an account to attend the class.

About the class
Class sizes are kept small so you can be guaranteed plenty of help and support. I will have two cameras in use during the class so you will be able to see my demonstrations up close in high definition as well as my face! There is a messaging function in addition to the meeting audio as well so plenty of opportunity to ask questions and discuss the project. My classes are fun and informal with plenty of opportunity for discussion and general chatter.
Unfortunately due to the nature of the session and the fact you will be sent the full pattern upon booking refunds cannot be given if you are unable to make one or both of the sessions. If you cannot make one/both of the sessions I will try to swap you to another date for the same project if available but this cannot be guaranteed. I am always available if you have any questions on the project after the workshop.
If you have any questions please contact me. I’m looking forward to seeing you!
