The club also arranges for special guest tutors to share their skills during weekend workshops, with hands-on activities such as carving (bone, stone, tagua nut), ‘free-form’ cutting techniques, opal cutting, ‘back-to-basics’ cabochon cutting and creating wire-wrapped and seed bead settings.

Resident club members can also tutor in Japanese Seed Bead and Wire Wrapped settings. These special workshops are arranged when there is sufficient interest shown by club members.
