About this event

  • 2 hours

Join us for a fun and creative event to learn how to make cool polymer clay designs on beads.

Who is this workshop for?

This hands-on workshop is perfect for beginners. We encourage parents and guardians to work with kiddos to make some epic bead combos.

I will discuss different types of polymer clay and teach you how to create different patterns and effects. You will then make a set of beads to take home.

There are over 20 colours to choose from so the possibilites are endless!

Making friends

Towards the end of the workshop, I ask those who would like to participate, to display extra beads they would like to gift to others, and also the chance for you to swap beads and take them home. This part is completely optional but is a lovely way to meet new people and share your work (adults included and if you or the kiddos click, swap details!)

What is included?

  • All materials and instructions
  • Most people create 8-0 beads and you also have a chance to swap beads with new friends
  • We will have cool drinks and tea and coffee available on the day.

Do parents/ guardians need to attend?

We do require parents and guardians to stay on-site for the duration of the workshop. Guardains may observe and assist their kiddos or buy a ticket at a reduced price and make their very own wall hanging.

What is a crafternoon?

It was so hard choosing a name for my business as the words ‘craft’ ‘art’ ‘painting’ etc all come with their own images in our head. Crafting for many, conjures up images of paddle pop sticks or scrapbooking paper. Art is something we think only artists can make or it makes people stressed that what they create is not good enough. A lot of people also feel to paint, draw or sculpt you need to be an expert.

I want to change these views by making creating fun and something everyone feels safe to do. At Crafternoons with Kirst we offer workshops for a variety of people to explore different creative mediums. It is my aim for everyone who attends my workshops to take away:

  • New skills you can take away and use again
  • A piece of work you are proud of
  • New connections
  • A smile : -)

I run a variety of workshops year-wide in various venues around Brisbane and the Gold Coast but we can also come to you! Please contact me about a private workshop for
