This is the page to come to to see what is new and what is coming up soon, be that craft and hobby supply shows, YouTube videos, TV shows, or our workshop programme.

Below you will find out about what is happening, and in some cases what is not happening just yet!

We started with a short but sweet sale with over 1,500 lines discounted.  

Over on YouTube there will be a series of videos with a Ruby theme throughout the month ... and as our Birthday month and International Beading Week overlap you can be sure there will be some special offers coming along toward the end of the month too!

For visitors to the shop we have brought back our fabulous freebies - lots of choice and one bag free for every £10 you spend in the shop.

International Beading Week is held each year at the end of July.  In 2024 it runs from July 27 to August 4 although the celebrations at Spellbound will be starting on July 26 this year!

In the past three years we have created beading masterclasses for the week on our YouTube Channel, and Julie has created a new masterclass with the theme of Memories for 2024, the first video will go live on July 30th.  You can find our master classes on Beaded Tassels, Love your Leftovers and Beaded Flowers plus hundreds more videos on our YouTube Channel 

This year we have a whole host of special offers for you, and as the theme of IBW this year is celebrations that includes lots of gorgeous colour in our Palette Collections, our much loved Preciosa seed and bugle beads and a lot of sparkling crystal beads.

We are also running a series of short taster classes at the shop this year starting on August 30th with Friendship Bracelets, at just £8 each we are sure these classes will be popular!  Head over to our Workshop page to find out all about them.

Prize Draw - we have a super prize worth over £50 - a Canterbury Tassel kit plus a fabulous selection of seed and bugle beads in the colourway of the winners choice.  To be in with a chance to win simply place an order or buy something in our shop between July 26 and August 4th.  There are two prizes, one each for a shop customer and a mail order customer and the lucky winners names will be pulled from the hat w/c August 5th.

The International Beading Week website is the place to find out all about what is going on everywhere else in the beading world this week, including a zoom meeting that Julie will be dropping in on on Tuesday July 30th, and a fabulous beady exchange that we are sure will be a big hit!

Julie and Vicky have both made a number of appearances on Create & Craft and our scheduled appearances for 2024 are:-

Saturday September 14th at 9am

Saturday October 26th at 9am

Tuesday is YouTube day - we can't quite manage one every week at the moment but there is still plenty going on on our YouTube Channel

There are already over 250 videos to watch including basic skills, making beautiful jewellery, and a huge variety of beady projects.  They are all easy to follow and presented by our talented team of tutors.  You can learn so many things from earrings to tassels, Peyote Stitch to making a tiara, beading a bauble to creating Himmeli decorations.

In 2024 as well as our regular schedule of worshops we are running a selection of taster workshops.  Running for about an hour each they cost £8 including all materials and you can find out more on our Workshop page.

If you are interested in doing workshops why not drop us an email, or call us, let us know the type of thing you are interested in and hopefully we can start work on getting them into our schedule.  The more we understand what you would like, the better our workshop programme will be.

If there is anything you would particularly like to see us teaching please email service@spellboundbead.co.uk. 

The Spellbound team attend shows throughout the country each year.  Regular venues on our schedule are Birmingham NEC; Glasgow SEC and Exeter Westpoint.

 Shows booked for 2024 so far are :-

Beadworkers Guild Bead Bazaar May 12

Exeter Westpoint Creative Craft Show September 26 to 28

Alexandra Palace Knitting and Stitching Show October 10 to 13

Birmingham NEC Creative Craft Show October 31 to November 3

Harrogate Knitting and Stitching Show November 21 to 24

At all shows we cram as much onto the stand, and into the van, as we can but there are many things that we simply can't fit in so we are very happy to bring along any pre-orders on approval.  If you would like to place an order for collection at a show please either call us, on 01543 417650, or email service@spellboundbead.co.uk at least 3 working days before the first day of the show so we can get your goodies to the show team in time.
