Fuse / Perler bead Workshop. Make fun and creative pixel art with plastic beads

Fuse / Perler Bead Pixel‑Art Workshop

Hi Everyone!
This is Sam from Dream Workshops Amsterdam.

Overview.
We’re gauging interest in running a hands‑on workshop where you’ll design and fuse your own pixel‑art mosaics using Fuse/Perler beads.
If enough people RSVP, the first session will be scheduled for Sunday  9th November.

What Are Fuse Beads?
Fuse (Perler) beads are small, colourful plastic tubes. You place them on a pegboard to create a 2‑D design, then fuse them together with a hot iron (through baking paper) to form a single piece of art. Hugely popular in the 1980s, they’ve made a comeback thanks to nostalgia for retro‑gaming pixel art.

Easy to learn — perfect for absolute beginners and children aged 8 +.
