Hello, my name is Gill Goldfinch and I love to bead. Whether it is to make a lovely piece of jewellery, added to a sewing project or simply collecting beads like a magpie, I am a little bit obsessed with beads!
I have been beading for more than 12 years now and as soon as I went to a workshop in Canterbury, I was hooked and I have now been teaching beading in Whitstable and celebrated 10 years of workshops in 2018.
I CAN THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND LOOKING AT KATIE DEAN'S PROJECTS
I DID THE SIX-POINTED STAR BEADED BOX FOR INTERNATIONAL BEADING WEEK
AND I CAN TELL YOU IT IS A DELIGHTFUL PROJECT WITH HER ONLINE VIDEOS AND EXCELLENT PATTERN
I like to create patterns from techniques, but like to keep it quite simple. There are many designers out there who I admire and love working from their patterns and have been lucky enough to get permission to do workshops with their design - more of this later.
BEADING WORKSHOPS
News coming.............Watch this space........
If you are interested in learning a new, very absorbing hobby contact
Due to the current Covid 19 situation I am afraid that there are no workshops planned
and I am not sure how I will progress when things get better! So it is a case, at the moment of Watch This Space!!
However, I have been looking through my patterns and if you click below you will find a FREE download to my Frills and Furbelows pattern.
It is a nice pattern to work and has three different versions, when I made it up I added some small drops to the final Frill in place of the middle seed bead (green at the front).
