Come together, slow down and create your own handmade piece in an Akos Creative beading workshop. Inspired by Ghanaian craft, colourful beads, textiles and handmade jewellery, our workshops give you the opportunity to learn simple creative techniques while enjoying the process of making.
Depending on the session, you may work with:
- Colourful glass beads
- Recycled Krobo beads from Ghana
- Fabric beads
- Natural and decorative beads
- Charms and pendants
- Ankara and African-inspired textiles
- Jewellery-making components
There is something special about sitting around a table, choosing colours, handling beautiful materials and creating something that is uniquely yours.

Projects vary according to the workshop. You may create jewellery, fabric beads, waist beads or another handmade piece to take home. Workshop details will tell you exactly what is included in each session.
You do not need to consider yourself “creative”.
There are no perfect beads, no right colour combinations and no experience required.
Just choose your colours, make something by hand and enjoy the process.
