These embellished, beaded brooches are close to my heart. Intimate
distillations of larger sculptural works, they were the first pieces of jewellery I
crafted, and have been a touchstone in my practice for a decade. Palm sized,
intimate sculptures, intended to travel with you, I think of them as small but
powerful spells of invitation or deflection, depending on one’s mood. They
foster connection, and function as amour.
I'm delighted to be hosting a very special Beaded Brooch Wearable Art Workshop this October, where you are invited to create your own precious
piece.
Join artist Louise Meuwissen at Sunday Studio, for a day celebrating
adornment, colour, and personal expression.
In a joyous, relaxed and supportive environment, we will explore couture
beading techniques, lean into our personal aesthetic sensibilities, play with
colour and form, and work with a thoughtfully curated selection of luxurious
vintage materials; including glass and ceramic beads, pearls, semi-precious
stones, Swarovski crystals, velvets, silks, and other fossicked treasures from
Louise's personal collection.
Whether you'e completely new to creating with your hands, or already love
making, you'l leave with a unique piece to wear, treasure, or display.
Sunday Studio,
9/95 Victoria Street, Fitzroy, VIC, 3065
Saturday 24 October 2026, 10am-4pm
Includes morning tea and snacks. Lunch not provided.
All materials and tools supplied.
If desired, please feel welcome to bring along your personal sewing kit, any
special beads, fabrics or treasures you'd like to incorporate into your piece.
This is my first time teaching this class in Melbourne, and spaces are limited.
It's going to be gorgeous. I can't wait to make with you. ✨
