2011 BIG BEAD SHOW!

SATURDAY - 15th OCTOBER 2011


Not only will there be a stunning mass and eclectic choice of delectably gorgeous beads from top class suppliers and exhibitors!! ... this year, for the first time ... the show is holding WORKSHOPS and I am delighted to be one of the tutors!

So do please come along and take part in a "Taster" WireWork Jewellery Workshop
as I will be running 3 workshop sessions throughout the day:

10.30am-11.45am * 12pm-1.15pm * 2pm-3.15pm

The workshops are already getting booked up quickly, so if you confirm your place NOW, you wont be disappointed on the day!

These 'taster' workshops will cover essential techniques such as 'MAKING LINKS ON BEADS' 'FORMING SPIRALS', 'CREATING BEAD CAGES' and 'MAKING JUMP RINGS', which will enable and provide you with the opportunity to make a very special and unique piece of finished jewellery to take home. I will also be happy to divulge any of my wirework tips and tactics, so please feel free to ask when you attend!

Below are some samples of the types of pieces that could be created within the workshop session:


Bead Cage & Spiral Necklace
Plaited Cord with Threaded Bead Pendant


Corded Bead Bracelet

Bead Cascade Pendant on Chain

Beads Unlimited of Brighton are very kindly providing a fantastic choice of beads for you to make your pieces and they will have wonderful offers to hand out on their stand throughout the day! So, don't miss out!
The whole event is being organised by BEAD MAGAZINE
who I am sure you are already familiar with for their inspirational magazine
