Step into the ethereal embrace of the night with Frauke Gugat‘s Crescent Moon workshop.

This necklace is more than just jewelry—it is a celestial dance captured in beads, designed to echo the rhythmic elegance of the night sky upon your skin.

In this immersive session, you will learn to sculpt light and shadow, transforming intricate beadwork into a piece of wearable poetry.

The Art of the Night
The Crescent Moon centerpiece is a study in structural grace. A radiant 27mm chaton takes center stage, cradled in a tapestry of meticulously placed beads. From this focal point, delicate, crescent-moon-shaped segments ripple outward, their curves conjuring the gentle movement of the tides and the soft glow of the moon.

Master the Craft
Under expert guidance, you will explore a suite of sophisticated techniques to bring this vision to life:
· Cubic RAW: Discover the structural magic behind the crescent moon segments, building depth and three-dimensional volume that defies expectation.
· RAW & Peyote: Refine your precision as you bezel the centerpiece Rivoli, using these foundational stitches to create a secure, elegant frame for your sparkling heart.
· Diagonal RAW: Learn the secret to fluid, architectural connections. We will utilize this technique to seamlessly bridge the Rivoli and the surrounding moons, ensuring the piece drapes with natural, rhythmic movement.

Join the Journey
This workshop is an invitation to elevate your beading practice. Whether you are seeking to master complex structural techniques or simply wish to create a piece that carries the magic of the night wherever you go, Crescent Moon offers the perfect canvas.

Let your inner light shine—come weave your own symphony of starlight and shadow.
