In this live Zoom beading workshop we will create a statement brooch or pendant with this steampunk-inspired design.

Whether adorning a coat or top hat at a Victorian ball, or fluttering around your neck as a colourful summer accessory – your colour choices for this project will be sure to make it stand out!

Choose metallic base metal colours or go wild with rainbow opaque beads – the choice is yours! This project uses single-needle right angle weave to bezel stones and create delightful circular components, which have so many uses beyond this project! Bring it all together with added embellishment and metal components.

Suitable for intermediate – Advanced beaders. Some experience of right angle weave would be advantageous. There is a tiny bit of CRAW used too.

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.

If you cannot make the session I will try to swap you to another date for the same class if available, but unfortunately, this cannot be guaranteed. If swapping is not possible then I will offer a refund, providing at least 8 days’ notice is given prior to the class start time. Unfortunately, once the Zoom link and pattern have been sent out no refunds can be given after this time.

If you have any questions please contact me. I’m looking forward to seeing you!
