I Am A Maker Public Workshop with Loree Bologna

This is a fun, fast introduction to jewellery making. Learn how to make one or more beads which can be made into a necklace or bracelet to wear home on the day. The process involves decorating a pre-cut strip of paper and, using a bead making tool, to twirl the paper into a lovely bead. To finish, the paper will be glued and sealed with varnish. The finished bead is then strung on either waxed cotton thread or rubber.

This workshop is part of The Big Draw 2026: Make A Mark, and Inspire's fourth branch of the I Am A Creator cultural programme. I Am A Creator is funded by investment from Arts Council England, through our status as an ACE National Portfolio Organisation.
