MELBA OFFERS A WORKSHOP in pearl knotting that is
held at The
Goldsmiths Gallery in San Remo.
If you have a group that would
like to learn pearl knotting, and you can't come to Melbourne
or San Remo, we are very happy to travel to wherever you are,
but please be aware that we will have to charge you for travelling
expenses.
Our pearl knotting workshop is exceptional value
for money.
Aims of the course
-
To make your own
pearl necklace.
-
To knot a strand
of pearls to a professional standard.
-
To learn the proper
care of pearls.
-
To learn about Freshwater,
South Sea and Tahitian pearls: where they come from, how
they are grown.
-
How to tell real
pearls from artificial.
To facilitate learning, we have introduced two streams to
our classes. When enrolling, please state which stream is
most appropriate for you.
Stream A |
Stream B |
Stream A is for people
who have some experience of beading or threading
beads or pearls. These students will complete a fully
knotted necklace during the class. |
Stream B is for people
who have no experience of beading. These students
will be taught the technique of pearl knotting and use
the technique to start and finish the necklace, however,
the main part of the necklace will be threaded, not
knotted. |
If you and your friends wish to enrol together and find that
your levels of experience cover both streams, that will be
fine, as long as we understand who is doing which stream of
the class. You will all receive the same level of tuition
and the same course materials.
Prerequisites for both streams
A reasonable dexterity of hand, due to the size
of the pearls and the fineness of the thread. Remember to
bring your glasses if you need them, as it is detailed, close-up
work.
Essential items
The above two items may be purchased on the
day, or you should bring your own if you have them. The tweezers
are an essential tool for the method we teach.
