there’s something incredible about the handmade that isn’t identical.
when each bead is made one at a time, there will always be variation. and this will always be the maker’s marks in that moment. and that is the beauty of the handmade.
the interaction beween the materials and the artist’s hand, a creative flow that is this one project. making each project original.
re-use what you have
you would not be alone if you have a jewellery box of solo earrings, pendants, collected bead necklaces and other pieces from your travels and gifts that you no longer wear.
the question is, are you willing to recreate that collection into a new necklace?
this is an invite to re-use what you have and design a necklace which includes those favourite pieces and memories into something beautiful and wearable.
this workshop provides you with a few tips and tricks to use those loved, unworn pieces in your jewellery box.
because you are creative and you love your collection, sometimes a little assistance is all that is needed
beautifully hand crafted glass beads
changing jewellery making, one bead at a time
emubeads creations are alchemy
each bead is layers of molten glass, metal inclusions and kiln annealed overnight.
designs are many and ever endless.
making beads that have been made before, will always be uniquely fresh
we pride ourselves on making nothing the same
this is the maker
what makes emubeads distinctive?
handmade is its own unique
the art is in the hours of practise and the mistakes which are learnings
repetition becomes the skill and the artistic voice
