pearl knotting basics

Discover the timeless craft of pearl knotting in this Beginner Pearl Knotting Course, designed for complete newcomers and curious creatives alike. You’ll learn how to properly prepare silk, tie secure and elegant knots between pearls, and finish a strand with confidence—skills that form the foundation of classic jewelry making. With clear, step-by-step instructions and plenty of hands-on practice, you’ll leave with a finished bracelet and the skills to keep creating on your own. You can choose from three types of pearls: large natural pearls, natural rice pearls, or imitation pearls. Each option will not only help you create a beautiful piece of jewelry but also give you the know-how to make gifts for family and friends or restring any pearls you may already have in your collection.  They will all be made with sterling silver clasps, and there will be a variety for you to choose from.

Pearls have been treasured for thousands of years, prized long before gemstones were cut or polished. In ancient civilizations, natural pearls were symbols of wealth, purity, and power, often reserved for royalty and nobility. Because pearls are organic and delicate, knotting them between each bead became an essential technique—protecting them from wear and preserving their beauty for generations. This course connects you to that rich history while teaching a skill that remains just as relevant and elegant today.

While you craft, enjoy delicious café bites, curated cocktails, and cozy hot drinks to sip as you create.  Snack boards can be purchased with your tickets and cocktails will be available all night.
