Textile Bead Making

Mix your mediums, using recycled papers, threads, paint and inks, wire, embossing powders and magical Tyvek – yes that’s the stuff they use in the building industry - to create amazing beads for necklaces, bracelets and other items of jewellery.

You can draw inspiration from the Museum’s wonderful world cultures textile collection as well as items from the Egyptian and Archaeological collections, using their surface decoration as a starting point for your own creativity.

This artist-led workshop is open to anyone aged 16 and over and is suitable for all abilities.

All materials are supplied unless otherwise stated, but please bring your own lunch and an apron if you have one.
