LEARNING

Tambour Beading Classes & Workshops

Karen teaches tambour beading in 2 settings:

Group Tuition: small groups 6-10 students, weekend, set dates, 6 hours.

If you have a limited budget and would like to learn in a group environment a Tambour beading group class is for you. Scheduled on a sat or sun, each class is 6 hours in duration. To book please see the Tambour group tuition/classes section on this website. Numbers are limited and sell out quickly.

Privately: one to one, flexible weekday class timetable, flexible dates, 3-hour sessions.

Flexible days and times of 3-hour classes means you can progress through the program at your own pace and can complete as many levels as you wish. Individual coaching and guidance mean the student successfully grasps the tambour beading techniques.

My professional tambour beading experience dates to 1994. I was formally trained in Paris France and stay traditional to these teachings in my classes. I will guide you through the necessary basics and share with you all the tips and tricks I have learned and used in my career. My patience and guidance will help you achieve your tambour beading goals.

The minimum number of hours per level for a private class is 3 hours

All tuition is to be held at 71 Mary St, St Peters NSW 2044

Tuition is to be held on any of the following days Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday.

A minimum of 1 month between tuition classes is recommended. This gives you the chance to practise and become familiar with the learned technique. This practise time is extremely important as you will not achieve the best result in following classes if you do not practise. 

If you require more time, more than one month in between tuition, that is Ok too. The important thing is to feel comfortable with the skills you have learned, therefore confidently moving onto the next level.

Practise time in between classes is crucial. This is the time that the student masters the learned technique and can then successfully attempt the following more difficult stages. Each level builds on the previous one.

Please do not expect to master the skills needed for the Tambour method as quickly as hand beading ones. With time and practise you will excel in your accuracy and speed. Tambour Beading is an art form; it requires practice, patience and dedication but will most surely deliver a satisfying and professional result.

Below is an outline of the techniques covered in the order of learning.
