Fun Beading classes in Sydney
One of the most ancient and enduring forms of creative expression, beadwork is a uniquely accessible craft and art-form that continues to be rewarding long after its made. Beading involves attaching beads and trinkets to one another via a sewing needle and onto a string or fabric, such as a necklace or an item of clothing. Each ancient culture had its own variations and styles of beading, with perhaps the most famous being the beading patterns of The Americas. It’s changed dramatically since the days of Mesopotamia and the Incans, and you can be sure that modern beadwork is considerably safer than it’s ancient counterparts. No longer an incredibly time-consuming process, modern beadwork involves very little hard labour and next to no open flames, and jewellery making classes have become a unique meditative process and a fun, family activity.
The jewellery industry is now worth just shy of 30 billion Australian dollars, but you don’t have to spend that much to make your own jewellery. ClassBento has beading classes perfect for not just individuals and groups, but also for families. Sydney school holidays are a perfect time to keep the kids busy with a jewellery making course, and a unique alternative to the standard family events usually on offer.
ClassBento’s jewellery making course are among the most popular options for families and groups, and one of the most creative indoor activities Sydney has to offer. Design and create your own unique beading patterns with our Beaded Jewellery- A Beginners Basics Class. You’ll learn the essentials of beading, pattern design, and how to create the famous “rosary” chain. With a heavy focus on sustainability and quality over quantity, your teacher Christine Smalley has over fifteen years experience of jewellery making, with a focus on renewable resources and supporting local artisans.
If you’re hoping to entertain the little ones and chasing fun things to do in Sydney with kids, Sew Make Create are a small craft workshop in Ultimo that have a class to keep the munchkins busy. Their Kids and Teens Polymer Clay Workshop is a hands-on jewellery making course where they’ll learn the basics of moulding and making their own charms, and turning them into fun beadwork jewellery that they’ll get to enjoy long after the class is over.
Jewellery making classes are a very interactive and social affair, where people work together to create their own individual pieces. It’s a welcoming communal environment, without ever losing the emphasis on your own creation. You’ll walk away from the classes with not only a new skill set you can take with you, but you’ll go home with the jewellery you designed during the class. This meditative experience is an exercise in mindfulness that’ll stay with you for a very long time and is a welcome distraction from the hustle and bustle of life.
Health Benefits of Beading
As with many craft-based activities, beadwork can be an exercise in mindfulness and meditation and has been used as art therapy for decades now. Beading forces you to focus on one very specific task and helps you clear your mind of other distractions until it’s just you and the jewellery. Although not labour-intensive, the focus required to successfully complete beadwork leaves little room for distraction and can keep your mind from wandering into the stresses of the week. This results in lowered blood pressure, reduced stress and most of all, an increase in visual perception and cognitive motor skills.
Jewellery making courses are often used in hospitals as a way to cope with severe illness, and beadwork is a very popular coping mechanism for individuals going through a difficult time. Beading workshops are a unique way to achieve a meditative state, whilst still engaging your creative streak. With so many jewellery making classes available, it makes for an exceptionally unique workshop activity, and one of the more relaxing things to do in Sydney.
