About this Event

Beadwork 101: Make Your Own Croc Charm Beading Workshop
Thursday, July 9th 6-9PM

Come hang out for a cozy evening of beading, snacks, and community ✨
We’ll be creating beaded croc charms!

I’ll guide you through the process step by step, so no experience is needed. You’ll leave with a finished piece (handmade by you!) and all the skills to keep beading on your own. Whether you’re a first-time beader or looking to deepen your craft, this is a relaxed, supportive space to learn, create, and connect.
KN95+ masks are required. Folks are permitted to remove their masks for eating or drinking. If you’re feeling unwell, please stay home — we can discuss a ticket transfer.




🎟️ Tickets

Sliding Scale (Pay $25, $45, or $65 + HST)

Your ticket includes:

  • A personalized beading kit with everything you’ll need
    seed beads, croc charm components, needles, bead mat, travel kit
  • Shared tools and extra supplies
  • Three hours of instruction and guidance

Sliding scale pricing helps keep beading accessible while still honouring the time, energy, and materials that go into each workshop. The true value of this experience is $65 + HST — please pay what feels appropriate for you 💖

I use Pay What You Can (PWYC) pricing to keep workshops accessible. Choose the option that fits your situation:

  • STANDARD ($65)
  • PAY45 ($45): Low-income with some family support or disposable income, unable to attend otherwise.
  • PAY25 ($25): Low-income, no savings, minimal disposable income, unable to attend otherwise.

  • PAY IT FORWARD: Pay it forward and help keep this business sustainable while making space for others to attend.
