The bead

The "Mărgelitul" circle is a unique space, where children can explore and develop their love for the art of beads, together with a leader with over 40 years of experience.

Beads are always in trend and are one of the oldest forms of handmade creation. Participating in this circle not only develops children's aesthetic taste, but introduces them to the wonderful world of folk creation and provides them with essential technical knowledge. These activities prepare children both psychologically and practically for the future and to choose a career in arts or crafts.

During the classes, children work with beads, developing fine motor skills of their hands and practicing their mathematical skills. The beading process requires patience, focus and a clear mind. Today, the art of beadwork is experiencing a new flowering, with creativity at its core. To create works of perfect quality, children must go through the preparatory stages, learn the simplest knitting techniques and understand the secrets of color combinations.

The circle program is based on didactic literature and develops children's general skills. Here, children not only learn about handcrafting, but also discover the secrets of this craft, such as:

• What are beads, glass, cutting and the variety of types of beads;
• How beads have evolved throughout history and how they have been used;
• Knowledge of wire types and their properties.

 The circle offers a wide range of knitting techniques, tools and materials. Baby beads offer numerous benefits, contributing to:

• Development of imagination and creative thinking;
• Training fine motor skills of the hands;
• Developing qualities such as patience, determination and attentiveness;
•  Joy through the creative process and satisfaction from the results obtained.

 Beading lessons help children learn a variety of skills, such as:

• Creation of jewels, flowers, trees and inhabitants of our planet;
• Realization of planar and volumetric objects;
• Braiding with the help of special devices.

 What makes this circle even more special is the possibility to donate or sell the products created, giving children an additional motivation to get involved in this creative activity. Thus, they learn not only about the art and beauty of beads, but also about generosity and entrepreneurship. Through the "Mărgelitul" circle, children step into a world of creativity that will accompany them throughout their lives, opening doors to a lot of opportunities.

To mention: The hours of activity are established in September, depending on the formation of the groups, according to the age of the beneficiaries.
