World famous painting inspires a South Shields beaded treasure workshop
Youngsters are urged to be inspired by a masterpiece at a South Shields workshop.
A world famous painting is providing the inspiration for a beaded treasure workshop in South Shields town centre.
The South Shields Museum & Art Gallery, on Ocean Road, is set to host the workshop sessions throughout the day on Tuesday, October 27.
Those attending are urged to be inspired by the shells, pearls and embellishments in Pierre Mignard’s painting, The Marquise de Seignelay, which is currently on display at the museum.
The workshop will see younger children thread beads onto pipe cleaners to create colourful 3D shell-inspired designs, while older children can experiment with stitch work to create more intricate shapes and patterns.
The workshops will be held on October 27 at the following times:
- 11.45am until 12.15pm (limited availability).
- 12.30pm until 1pm.
- 1.30pm until 2pm.
- 2.15pm until 3pm (limited availability).
It is free to get involved in the workshops but places need to be booked ahead of time at: https://www.ticketsource.com/events-south-shields-museum-and-art-gallery/beaded-treasure-workshop/2026-10-27/d-anzkazfabkryx.
