Perler Bead Workshop for Beginners: Make Your Own Pixel Art

Learn pixel art in Adelaide!



2.5 hours Location Magill Class size 1 to 4 guests   $59 (Afterpay available)

Bead by bead, find your calm. In this small-group workshop, you'll sit down at a real bead bench in Magill, choose your colours and build your own piece of pixel art----one tiny bead at a time.
You'll start by picking a design from our pattern book or bring your own idea.
Then you'll learn the four things that actually matter:
  • How to read a bead pattern and set up your board
  • The tweezer technique that stops your design shifting
  • How to place colours so the shading reads properly
  • How to iron your piece so it fuses flat, not warped
Then we will cool and attach your hardware----a keyring, a magnet or a standing
frame----so you walk out with something finished, not a half-done project in a bag.
Everything is set up for you: boards, beads in 200+ colours, tweezers, ironing paper and a cup of tea. No experience needed. Groups are kept to 2-4 people, so there's always someone to ask when a corner goes wrong.
By the end, you'll have your own finished piece, the pattern to remake it again and a new way to switch off for an afternoon.

Hi, I'm Wendy — I make small pictures out of plastic beads.
I started because I needed something that would actually slow me down. A
daughter, a full day, a phone that never stops — and then a tray of tiny
coloured beads that asked me to do one thing at a time. That's where the name
comes from. Hands & Heart. Bead by bead, find your calm.
I work from a small studio in Magill. Everything I make starts as a grid of
coloured squares: a character, a koala, a bunch of blue roses. What I love
about this craft is that it looks hard and it isn't. If you can count squares
and hold a pair of tweezers, you can do it.
That's why I started teaching it. My sessions are deliberately small — two to
four people around one table — so I can actually sit beside you and help when
a corner goes wrong. Most people arrive nervous and leave with something they
made, slightly annoyed that they already want to make another.
No experience needed. Boards, beads, tools, the iron and a cup of tea are all
here. Come by yourself, bring a friend, or bring your child. Ages 10 and up.
