Discover the beauty of intricate bead weaving in our St Petersburg Chain Workshop with Sue Stallard at Riverside Beads in Market Deeping, near Peterborough. This creative full-day class is perfect for beginners wanting to learn bead weaving and for experienced makers looking to try a delicate, lacy chain technique.

During the workshop, Sue will guide you step by step through the St Petersburg bead weaving process. You’ll learn how to choose your beads, thread your needle, and build the repeating pattern that gives this chain its distinctive texture and sparkle.
