Jewellery-making courses

In Marcq-en-Barœul, on the edge of Lille, Diane opens her workshop to those who want to learn beadwork.

Tree of life in wire and beads, a creation by Diane

For beginners and experienced hands alike

Diane runs jewellery-making courses, for beginners and experienced hands alike, adults and children. Everyone leaves with a piece of their own, and often the urge to start again.

Learning the gesture, not the recipe

Beadwork is not learnt from a diagram: it is learnt by hand. Choosing a bead, threading it, weaving it, starting again. That is the time Diane passes on, in the workshop where her own pieces are born.

Where the courses take place

In Diane's workshop, at the Village des Artisans d'Art du Septentrion, in Marcq-en-Barœul, a few minutes from Lille, Bondues, Mouvaux, Wasquehal and Tourcoing.
