Experiment with colour, texture and pattern while creating your own beads or jewellery. Make Something Beautiful by Hand Come together, slow down and make your own handmade creation at an Akos Creative beading workshop.

Anyone looking for a fun and creative experience.
No experience is needed. Just bring yourself, enjoy the creative process and take home something you have made with your own hands.
Every workshop is a little different. You might make a piece of jewellery, create fabric beads, design your own waist beads, or craft another beautiful handmade item to take home.
The workshop details will let you know exactly what is included, so you can look forward to creating something special with your own hands.
You do not need any experience to join our workshops, and you do not need to think of yourself as “creative”.
There are no perfect beads, no wrong colour choices and no pressure to get things right.
Simply come as you are, choose the colours and materials you love, and enjoy the experience of making something by hand. Along the way, you may discover a new skill, connect with others, share stories and leave with something that is uniquely yours.
Whether you come on your own or with friends, you will be welcomed into a relaxed and friendly space where creativity, culture and connection come together.
Come and experience the joy of creating something beautiful by hand. Places are limited for each workshop, so we recommend booking early to secure your spot.
Book your workshop today and enjoy a creative experience inspired by culture, colour and connection.
We look forward to welcoming you to an Akos Creative workshop.
