Riverside Beads presents the Rings, Links and Toggle Elements Workshop, an inspiring full-day bead weaving class with expert tutor Sue Stallard. Join us at Riverside Beads in Market Deeping, near Peterborough, to explore the techniques behind creating stunning beaded components — perfect for adding professional finishing touches to your jewellery projects.

During this workshop, Sue will guide you through crafting three key elements: a beaded ring, a beaded link, and a toggle clasp. You’ll learn how to use the peyote stitch to form these intricate pieces, and discover how they can be used to enhance bracelets, necklaces, and other designs. The beaded toggle clasp in particular is a versatile and elegant addition that can be customised to suit a wide variety of projects.

While this class is suitable for confident beginners, some prior knowledge of the peyote stitch is recommended to get the most from the session. Sue’s clear, step-by-step tuition ensures that everyone can learn at their own pace while building confidence in bead weaving techniques.

The workshop includes all materials needed to make one of each of the elements demonstrated, along with printed instructions and design ideas to help you recreate and expand on the designs at home.
