Join artist Louise Meuwissen at Sunday Studio and learn how to create a beaded brooch that you can wear!
These embellished, beaded brooches are close to Louise's heart. Intimate distillations of larger sculptural works, they were the first pieces of jewellery she crafted and have been a touchstone in her practice for a decade. Palm-sized, intimate sculptures intended to travel with you, she thinks of them as small but powerful spells of invitation or deflection, depending on one’s mood. They foster connection and function as amour.
In a joyous, relaxed, and supportive environment, we will explore couture beading techniques, lean into our personal aesthetic sensibilities, play with colour and form, and work with a thoughtfully curated selection of luxurious vintage materials, including glass and ceramic beads, pearls, semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystals, velvets, silks, and other fossicked treasures from Louise's personal collection.
Whether you're completely new to creating with your hands or already love making, you'll leave with a unique piece to wear, treasure, or display.
What you'll get
  • A completed brooch, to wear, treasure and display
  • Morning tea and snacks
Knowledge required
All levels of ability are welcomed and encouraged.
What to bring
If desired, please feel welcome to bring along your personal sewing kit, any special beads, fabrics, or treasures you'd like to incorporate into your piece.
