Want to try something different this weekend and get creative at fun group activities in Canberra? Join Charlotte Appleby from Couture Bead Masters at her beginner-friendly beadwork class and get hands-on making your own personalised beaded fabric!

In this full-day class, you will learn all the techniques of contemporary beadwork using specialty sequins with a beading needle creating dimension, three-dimensional elements and ribbon work with embroidery techniques to add texture.

All techniques are practised on silk organza using a rotating embroidery frame. Although you will be learning in a mixed technique group, your class is tailored specifically to your progress, so all levels are welcome to attend.

Couture Bead Masters is founded by Charlotte Appleby a British Couture dress designer, trained at London College of Fashion in Handcraft and Production tailoring. I initially worked within fashion, film and theatre before setting up my own business The English Tailoress. I always had a passion for couture beading and applied it to many of my eveningwear and bridal designs. I learnt the skill in 2007 through a workshop and became hooked on the ‘Luneville’ technique. This technique is practised in the couture houses in Paris today however its origin dates to the early 1800s.

I celebrate the traditional art of couture beading and share my experience with other designers, enthusiasts and companies worldwide. I set up Couture Bead Masters to maintain these artisanal skills within the industry to keep the traditional techniques alive.

Alongside my private commission work, I educate Internationally running workshops and courses teaching specialist skills executed in my work. I also provide specialist couture supplies and online resources sharing my knowledge and continued appreciation of couture beading and embellishment.
