If you want to advance your skills in beaded jewellery, in Sydney, then this course is for you.

This course is for people who have completed the first Beaded Jewellery Course, or for people who are confident in the basic beaded jewellery techniques. You will be expanding your skills in beading and wirework. The course will help you realise your own designs and ideas through self initiated projects. Use the techniques that interested you in the first Beaded Jewellery Course to make more interesting and complex pieces of jewellery that involve a greater variety of materials.
