Learn timeless jewellery techniques with specialist jeweller and silversmith Danielle over two days.
Learn how to professionally knot pearls, gemstones, or beads, finished with French wire clasps in order to repair, restring, and recreate your heirloom jewellery.
Have you got a string of pearls, gemstones, crystals, or beads from your Grandma, mother, great aunts, or any sentimental beads to be restrung? Learn durable techniques that will stand the test of time and give your pieces a new life. Recycle any strand of beads to recreate a wearable piece using silk thread for a professional finish that you will be proud of.
Perhaps you have a three-string piece that you would like to divide up for family members? Or a necklace to make into two smaller bracelets? The options are endless!
This class will take place across two sessions of three hours each:
  • Class 1: Bring along your item for Danielle to look at and guide you as to what you may need to source for the following week. In this lesson, you will also learn the technique of knotting with the kit provided.
  • Class 2: You will set your work on your special piece, using the skills from the day before. Please note, there may be extra requirements for you to purchase beforehand in order to complete your particular piece of jewellery.
What you'll get
We will provide an initial kit of materials for the first class. Please bring along your pieces to mend or restring and we will discuss them in the first class. Tea and coffee available.

Learn to sew and mend with knowledgeable, patient teachers in a friendly, inclusive environment. All ages, genders and abilities welcome!
At SOSU, we believe that sewing is a wonderful life skill, and we want to share it with you. Learning how to alter and mend the things that you have as well as learning the skills to create your own gorgeous garments will help you to be more creative and sustainable. We offer a wide range of full and half-day workshops or ongoing courses that will build, refresh or consolidate your sewing skills. We have a great mix of beginner and skilled sewists of all ages learning at our school.
We can also arrange private lessons for those that learn better one-on-one. When it’s just you and your teacher you can really tackle that special project with confidence.
Our back story: The School of Sewing & Upcycling was established in 2015. Set up in a small shop in Buckley Street, Footscray, where Gaye (the original owner) and her team shared their love of sewing with aspiring and experienced sewists alike.
In February 2023, Zoë took over the business from Gaye (who still teaches) and in May 2023 SOSU moved into their current home in Whitehall Street, Footscray.
Zoë and her team of friendly and skilled teachers look forward to welcoming you (or your ClassBento gift recipients) into their space to unlock creativity, develop sustainable habits, and master skills that will last a lifetime!
