Collaborate with Life Beading.
Life Beading brings together thoughtful conversation, beautiful beads and the pleasure of making something by hand.
I collaborate with people and organisations to create experiences that feel natural to their setting, speak to the people they serve and leave participants with something personal to carry away.
Whether you already have an idea or are simply wondering what might be possible, I would love to hear from you.
A collaboration shaped around you
Here, a working barn at Cuan Wildlife Rescue became the setting for a Life Beading experience shaped around fragility, restoration and connection.
Life Beading can be adapted around a place, purpose, community or occasion.
We might create:
-
A distinctive workshop inspired by your work or setting
-
A reflective experience to complement a retreat, festival or wellbeing programme
-
An event exploring a theme that matters to your community
-
A thoughtful addition to a charity, support or remembrance programme
-
A collaborative kit or experience for your customers
-
A creative session or your team or organisation
Each collaboration begins with a conversation. Together, we find the theme, questions and format that will make the experience feel genuinely relevant - rather than simply bringing an existing workshop into a different room.
Who I collaborate with
Life Beading works particularly well with:
Independent shops and creative spaces
Offer your customers an experience inspired by the character of your shop, products or surroundings.
Wellbeing practitioners and retreat leaders
Add a gentle, creative practice that helps people explore and remember what has emerged during their time with you.
Charities and community organisations
Create an accessible experience around a cause, shared experience or community need.
Venues, festivals and event organisers
Offer anything from a short Life Beading taster to a full guided workshop.
Businesses and teams
Explore values, working relationships, change or shared purpose through a refreshingly different creative experience.
What makes Life Beading different?
This is not simply bracelet making.
Participants are guided through a small number of carefully designed questions. They choose a bead for each answer, giving form to something they want to recognise, remember or carry forward.
The bracelet becomes more than something they made on the day. It becomes a collection of personal touchstones - returning them to the conversation, insight or moment long after the event has ended.
The experience can be gentle, joyful, moving or thought-provoking. Often, it is all four.
