My Book
How to Design Bead & Wire Jewellery

I have tried many different types of art and craft activities, but I’ve always returned to my beads and wire as you can come up with so many different design ideas.

This can be a problem though for beginners who often struggle to get started – getting overwhelmed with the possibilities or worrying that their ideas won’t work.

Should you sketch or lay-out your designs, which colours go together, what beads are available, where can you find inspiration, what should you avoid doing, which types of bead or wire can you combine, what other materials are there and what designs suit different types of people or occasion?

My book - published in the UK, USA, France and Germany - is unique as it first teaches you these design skills so that you never feel lost or struggle to get started.

It then shows you the tools, techniques and projects that you can use to bring your designs to life.
