Following on from our ‘Meet the Team’ post a few days ago, where I introduced you to Leanne, the next member of our Tutor team is like to introduce you to is Paula from @on.a.string .
.
I have known Paula for a number of years through various ‘beady’ channels! Last year I asked her if she’d like to join our team to teach a few advanced seed beading workshops. Sadly for us, our regular beading tutor Karen, was diagnosed with cancer around this time and had to step back from her teaching duties. With very little lead time, Paula stepped up and has become our regular seed beading tutor whilst Karen is on leave. I’m very grateful for her doing this and her workshops so far have been a great success
.
Paula has been beading for more than 15 years. In her studio with her favourite tv show on the iPad, a cup of peppermint tea and lots of lovely shiny things to play with, is how she loves to spend her time
.
You can read more about Paula in her bio on our Tutor page on the website. Paula is also in our Facebook groups (like all of our current tutors) so you can come and chat to her in there
.
Paula is currently working on some great new projects for when we can reopen!

So many orders have come through in the last week - thank you so much to all of you.
Also a big shout out to those of you who have been messaging, emailing, texting your support through and just checking in to see how I’m doing. I really appreciate it so thank you.
Whilst the studio is closed, I am still sending out supplies so please feel free to message if you see something you like or there’s something you need. We are shipping every day and I’m happy to help where I can

We all need a bit of positive in our lives at the moment so today I thought I’d reintroduce you to one of our tutors, who is also now one of my best friends
.
This lovely lady is not only right by my side helping me get The Whimsical Bead workshops ready for when we can reopen but has also been there for me recently, during one of the hardest periods of my life. I am so very grateful to have her in my world, and I know many of you feel this way too. Meet the wonderful Leanne Fergeus of @leannefergeusart .
Leanne has had a passion for creating art since she was old enough to hold a pencil. Spanning several decades, she has found ways to express herself through several mediums.
Leanne studied Colour & Design at the Melbourne Studio of Art.
Leanne is inspired by the beauty of nature, colour and texture and is known for the vibrancy of colour found in her artwork. Her love of jewellery making led her to rediscover her passion for polymer clay
.
You can read more about Leanne on our website in her bio. She, along with myself and the other tutors are busily working on new workshops for when we can reopen. Leanne is also helping me on a few special projects which we are hoping to share with you in the coming months
.
I feel blessed to have this amazing lady as part of my team....and as someone I know will be in my life forever

Someone is not happy that her usually weekend guests (aka our students!), have not come to visit. I did tell her she’d have to put up with me for the foreseeable future but apparently that is not good enough!
