All Beadwork Classes & Workshops are tutored by me,
Fran Griffith!

 

I have been designing & teaching my own beaded originals for around 7 years. I have a large, light & airy countryside workshop at Crumpets Farm, Lytchett Matravers, Dorset (see Map) where I teach some of the workshops, other local venues are at The Mowlem Theatre, Swanage which has a huge light room with an uninterrupted view of the sea & Kinson Community Centre, which has free parking & modern, light classrooms, not to mention helpful staff. I also travel to many more distant venues, wherever I’m asked to teach. If it’s possible for me to take my car, I transport my huge & exciting bead shop with me to each workshop so you will always have plenty of bead choice on hand. 

 

An enticing array of Beads, Patterns & Worksheets, Beaded Jewellery Kits & Wire & Bead Jewellery are all for sale on my Bead Shop Website www.frangipanibeads.co.uk
