Slightly overwhelming? Perhaps. But too many options is a good problem to have.


Decide on what you're going to make

Decide on What You're Going to Make

Necklace/bracelet/phone wristlet - it's totally up to you!


Get started

Get Started

We'll help you get the ball rolling! For the most beaded pieces, starting is the hardest part. Once you have attached a clasp to start a necklace, for example, the more relaxing/mindful beading starts.


Show off your piece

Show Off Your Piece

Maybe take a break and grab a drink. Have a look around at everyone's pieces for inspo! Then prepare to make another creation.


Dabbled in beading as a kid? Keen to curb the winter blues as the cooler weather sets in? Say hello to The Beady Bunch. Unlike some more technical (and stressful) jewellery-making modes, beading is nostalgic and mindful. The perfect way to unwind after work over a drink or two.
Your ticket grants you access to our ever-growing bead collection (it’s huge). You can make two beaded pieces of your choice throughout the night (necklace/bracelet/phone strap/sunglasses strap). We will teach you any skills required and problem-solve any design hurdles you encounter. This workshop is very much beginner-approved. ️
We’re planning on running these events quite regularly, the idea being if you attend a few you’ll hopefully cross paths with the same people! Kind of like social sport, but minus the injury risk.
P.S. we can work with bigger groups for private workshops, just not at this venue. Capacity is 18 PAX.

Fencesitter was founded (by accident) in 2018, when Heather McNab decided to try her hand at replicating the Picasso-style face earrings she was seeing at every chain store in Adelaide. Armed with pliers and Bunnings fencing wire, she developed her own craft and style and started selling bespoke wire earrings at local markets. This hobby grew and, post-covid, graduated to teaching. Heather has taught thousands of budding jewellery makers over the years, making finished products ranging from technical wire pieces to charm necklaces and bracelets. Our workshops vary in difficulty, but even our most challenging workshops are aimed at beginners. A reformed perfectionist (in progress), Heather understands how intimidating trying a new skill can be and is well-versed in helping students get over mental hurdles.
Fencesitter has crafted custom pieces for State Opera of South Australia and Monarto Zoo, and was lucky enough to feature in the Shameless Gift Guide in 2020. Fencesiter workshops are frequently booked as Hens activities or for corporate activations. Keep us in mind for your next private event!
Don't think of yourself as crafty? Fencesitter begs to differ.
