Fantasia Live Virtual Zoom Workshop August 29, 2026, 10:00 AM-4:00 PM EST
We are delighted to welcome Laura Embrey to SocialBeadia for this inspiring and elegant workshop. The Fantasia Necklace is a dazzling, crystal-rich design that blends intricate beadwork with artistic expression, resulting in a piece that is both sophisticated and striking.
One of the joys of this project is how the individual components can be adapted, giving you inspiration and techniques that can be used in many future designs.
Inspired by Ralph Vaughan Williams Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, this necklace evolves beautifully—just like a musical fantasia—one element at a time. As you create each component, the design gradually comes together into a bold, harmonious statement piece. The deep, luminous crystals echo the rich rhythms and emotional depth of the music that inspired it.
