Don’t miss the big show at Haydock Racecourse Sunday 21st September – just off the M6 between Manchester and Liverpool. We have many exhibitors trading beads, jewellery & other crafts – in two halls, along with beading jewellery-making workshops & refreshments. A bumper show, not to be missed!
This time the beading workshop is to make a beautiful Kumihimo Braclet. The first workshop at 11am is only available to those who book first on the day – just £5.00 towards the materials. One & half hours of beading fun! It’s not all about beads. The show also caters for other crafts – along with ready-made jewellery and other goodies.
It’s a great day out for all the family. We find children are increasingly becoming interested in beading – and at Beads Up North, under 16s enter free! On the door adults are just £5 and over 66s £4. Or order discounted tickets online now at: Beads Up North Tickets. For Full Details Click: BeadsUpNorth.co.uk
Adds Depth and Dimension
Round beads may be classic, but when you mix in oval, square, faceted, or irregular shapes, your design gains an extra level of depth. Different contours catch light in unique ways, bringing a piece to life. Faceted beads sparkle; smooth nuggets feel natural and earthy, while angular cubes give a modern, structured edge.
Highlights Natural Beauty Semi-precious stones often have inclusions, colour shifts, or natural patterns. Unusual shapes like chips or tumbled stones can showcase these natural details. Irregular shapes make each piece one-of-a-kind and celebrate the beauty of nature rather than hiding it.
Creates Flow and Movement Elongated beads like rice or teardrops, help guide the eye through a piece of jewellery. Adding a sense of direction and movement. Ideal for statement necklaces or flowing earrings. They also create rhythm and balance with smaller beads.
Boosts Versatility in Design
Different shapes offer more flexibility in designing for various styles. Rondelles or heishi beads are excellent for stacking or layering. Briolettes are perfect for dangles and drops. Flat beads can sit flush against the skin, great for bracelets or chokers. A mix of shapes gives you the tools to design for any occasion.
Tells a Story Through Texture
Jewellery is tactile as well as visual. A mix of smooth, rough, shiny, and matte surfaces, achieved through different bead shapes – makes each piece more engaging to wear and touch. Especially appealing in handmade jewellery where the customer is looking for something with personality.
