Giant bead making workshops

“I based my bead on the feelings I get when I visit the seaside”

“Making, chatting, connecting an being part of something filled me with happiness”

“I wasn’t creative until this”

“The time for myself was magical”

Our Giant Necklace

We commissioned artists Alison Mott and Liz Waddell to work with people from across Charnwood to make their own giant bead which would form part of a giant necklace.

Come along to Charnwood Museum and see the real thing!
