£105 per day, £195 for two days

This is a group workshop and has 6 places available. It is for the complete beginner and is designed to give a thorough grounding in home studio set up and basic tuition in bead making.

Initially designed as a two day course we have realised that not everyone can commit to two days at one sitting. So we have split the workshop into two parts and have Part One and Part two available to book either individually or together.

I am a member of the ISGB (International Society of Glass Beadmakers) and am registerered on their list of worldwide beadmaking instructors. I like as much as I can over the two days to cover as much of the ISGB recommended bead making curriculum as I can.

Their Recommended Teaching Standards For Bead Making including the curriculum can be found here.
