Back in December I wrote about having selected my latest colour scheme and showed the photo of all my choices…

But of course it's never that simple and, after a lot more experimenting, my colours changed multiple times until they became what I settled on for my Meraki series of beadwork.

Because I know how hard it is to choose colours I now always include the colours I used in my patterns, books, videos, kits & classes etc for purchasers so you can either replicate what I used or use them as a starting point for your own unique scheme.

This project (including all its variations) will be taught by me at Bead Sparks 2026.

Just as last year we'll be running 2 dates (Monday-Wednesday is 2nd-4th November and Friday-Sunday is 6th-8th November) and you can register for a specific one, or both if you have no preference and want to increase your chance of a space.

We had a lot of fun last November at our 2 sell-out events and are excited to return to the same venue and excitingly this year both the classrooms will be on the same lower floor so this means it will be easier for you all to go between classrooms to 'ohh and ahh' over everyone's colours!

The total price for 3 days of classes (both projects) and lunch, tea & coffee etc on each day is £300 (which can be paid in 2 parts with the 1st half due within a month of your space being allocated and the 2nd due by the end of August).

Excitingly because of the classroom change we have added extra spaces and whilst those who booked for 2025 have priority, the other spaces will be allocated by ballot so if you get a space we will contact you before the end of April.
