The unique art of sculpting with beads on wire originated in the 16th century when small glass beads were embroidered and strung on wire to make beaded flowers for ball gowns and jackets for members of the French Royal Court. Beaded flowers in silk or fresh flowers, make great inserts in bridal bouquets, bridal headdresses, hair barrettes, napkin rings, corsages, wall hangings and other items.

Rediscover the art of beaded flowers in the following workshop with Ms Christine Lim who has six years experience imparting beading skills. She will be teaching the French Flower Beading Technique which can be adapted to make multiple types of 3-D flowers.
