About this event

Pixel Art & Fuse Beads – From Screen to Beads!

In this workshop, you’ll create your own pixel art masterpiece – first digitally, then physically! Using free pixel art software, you’ll design a low-resolution image with just a handful of colours. Once your design is ready, you’ll recreate it using fuse beads (also known as Hama or Perler beads) to make a colourful physical version you can take home.

🎨 What you'll do:

Learn how to design simple pixel art on free software
Explore how images are built from pixels and limited colour palettes
Recreate your digital design with fuse beads on pegboards
Fuse (iron) your beads to take home a finished artwork!

🖼 No experience needed – just bring your creativity!

👨‍👩‍👧 Who is it for?

Suitable for children age 5+(with adult supervision for bead ironing), families, and beginners.
