International Beading Week

We are supporting International Beading Week (26th July - 5th August) this year with a 2-day event at Oswaldtwistle Mills.
You can just come to have a look or come and bead with us. It's all free, but if you want to guarantee your place for either one or even both days then please book on-line or you can email kathryn@halfpenney.co.uk.

Regal Rivoli Necklace Workshop now open to book

You can now book for Marlene O'Reilly's workshop on 26th August on the Book A Workshop page of our (Virtual) Beading Room www.virtual.halfpenney.co.uk .

It's is a stunning necklace using a variety of beads and stitches.

Swarovski Rivolis are provided and the galvanised gold beads are Miyuki Duracoat - only the best is good enough!

Dear Santa ..... update

If you have bought my Dear Santa Kit, or the Dear Santa Pattern, then you may be wanting to get hold of replacement decorated paper for your new list.
Wait no longer.
I have just added a download to The (Virtual) Beading Room so you can print off as many extra pages that you need.
There are 4 of each colour per A4 page.

Go to www.virtual.halfpenney.co.uk and download yours at no charge.
