Beaded Jewellery run by Hilary Barton, is a new addition to MACS in 2026. Groups will be run on Saturday mornings from 9.30 am to 12.30 pm and Monday afternoons from 12.30 pm to 3.30 pm, starting Saturday, January 17th.
Hilary is an experienced teacher who is happy to share her knowledge. In Hilary's words, this is 'not your grandma's beading'. This modern form of beading is mainly done with needle and thread, not wire, and the possibilities are endless.
Initially, the Beaded Jewellery groups will be run as structured classes with group members all creating the same design. This is so that Hilary can teach the basics of the Beaded Jewelery craft in a step-by-step fashion. Once members have gained skills and confidence, Hilary is happy to offer support and encouragement as members attempt individual designs.
Hilary is very generously not charging for these classes, only for the kits. There are spaces in each group for a maximum of eight members, and early interest indicates they will fill up fast!
