Fimo Bead making Workshop - millifiori and mokumegane

 

 

If you’re relatively new to the world of jewellery making you may find yourself wondering how to identify Fimo beads. Basically, Fimo beads are handmade beads created with polymer clay. This special type of clay, sold under the brand name Fimo, is created from PVC plastic and a plasticizer chemical that keeps the clay moldable and soft until it is cured. Fimo clay is also rather unique in that it can be fired in your home oven and does not need a special kiln. 

 Fimo jewelry is very popular among teens and young adults because the beads are available in a variety of colors and designs.

In our weaving classes you can learn about the threads, needle and beads to use for a variety of stitches such as peyote, herringbone, square stitch, brick stitch, netting, right angled weave st petersburg chain, spiral rope chain and more. These classes are aimed at learning stitches and techniques.  Bead weaving takes longer than dress jewellery and requires patience and concentration; however the stunning results are well worth it!
