Melissa Shippee's Mariana the Anglerfish / July 24, 2026

$95.00

Mariana the Anglerfish Live Virtual Zoom Workshop July 24, 2026, 11:00 AM-5:00 PM EST

Deep-sea whimsy meets illuminating beadwork magic. In this imaginative workshop, you’ll bring Mariana the Anglerfish to life—a playful, three-dimensional bead embroidery project inspired by the mystery of the ocean depths.

Mariana is rich in texture and dimension, created using a mix of seed beads, Czech glass, and luminous crystal pearls. What truly sets her apart is her glowing lure, illuminated by a tiny LED light. The discreet circuitry is cleverly housed within her body and operated by a small toggle switch, adding a unique interactive element to your finished piece.

This class is perfect for beaders ready to expand their skills while exploring sculptural design, creative construction, and a touch of technical magic.
