Laura Embrey is a talented beadwork artist and designer based in Cheshire, UK, known for creating stunning jewelry for competitions as well as designs for tutorials and classes. With a deep love for all things sparkly, her work is characterized by dazzling crystals and intricately woven seed bead patterns that capture both elegance and artistry.

Laura’s passion for beading began at just 12 years old, when she discovered her first jewelry magazine—a moment that sparked a lifelong creative journey.

Dedicated to sharing her knowledge, Laura takes great joy in teaching and inspiring fellow beaders through her beautifully crafted classes.

Her artistry has earned widespread recognition in the beadwork community. Laura was honored as the winner of the Battle of the Beadsmith Competition 2025, following her achievement as runner-up in the Battle of the Beadsmith Earrings Competition 2023 and her selection as a semifinalist in the 2024 main Battle.
