About
Be inspired by the beautiful shells, pearls and embellishments in Pierre Mignard’s painting, The Marquise de Seignelay. You’ll learn how to stitch 3D beaded forms, experimenting with different beads, textures and shapes to create your own unique decorative piece to take home.
In this fun, hands-on workshop, younger children can thread beads onto pipe cleaners to create colourful 3D shell-inspired designs, while older children can experiment with stitch work to create more intricate shapes and patterns.
With activities suitable for all ages and abilities, there’s plenty of opportunity to get creative, explore different materials and discover how simple beads can be transformed into something completely unique.
