FUSE TOGETHER
Let’s make something together—literally.
Make jewellery, make noise, make change.
Fuse beads aren’t just for kids (though kids are totally invited). These tiny, colourful plastic bits are powerful little tools. You can use them to make earrings, charms, and statement pieces that spark joy and start conversations.
You don’t need any special skills. If you can pick up a bead and have a chat, you’re already overqualified!
Why ‘Fuse together’
Using Fuse beads as a medium is intentional. Fuse beads easy to use, accessible to everyone, and full of potential. There’s something beautiful about watching a whole bunch of tiny individual pieces come together to create something strong, colourful, and lasting. Just like us, hey?
The best part, 90% of all ticket sales go directly to PANZMA. They are passed on in real time so as soon as you buy your ticket, your donation is passed on. This can be your way of helping from Australia while PANZMA sends medical supplies and professionals to people like us, in Palestine.
Your donation goes to fund

This initiative has no religious or political affiliation. It is my offering to bring people together and raise money for an organisation who is able to make a difference right now.
What happens in the workshop?
This workshop is suitable for anyone aged 6 to 99! You will have the chance to make a range of cute things using fuse beads and you can take this new hobby home with you!
I will have patterns for earrings, kids stencils or you can go rogue and create your own patch design or start the beginnings of a mini construction project! You can also participate in a piece of collaborative art (see below)
What’s Included?
Your workshop ticket includes all materials and 2.5 hours to design and make your fuse creations. You also get a pair of 304 surgical steel earring hoops and findings to create your earrings or necklace so you can wear them out of the workshop and start conversations!
I plan to host these workshops in fun places where you can also purchase a drink or some snacks while you work on your creations.
Who is PANZMA?
Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association (PANZMA) is a non-profit organization that was established in 2020 by a group of healthcare professionals across Australia and New Zealand, who care about fulfilling the unmet need for providing uncomprehensive health care in Palestine. Medical Professionals travel overseas and PANZMA also provides medical equipment and supplies.
Palestinians often lack access to quality health care, medical supplies, and equipment. They also suffer from physical and mental trauma, chronic diseases, and malnutrition. PANZMA’s goal is to improve the health and well-being of Palestinians, regardless of their location, religion, or political affiliation.
Health is a human right and everyone deserves to receive medical relief and support. PANZMA is helping to do this. Let’s help them!

What's the vibe?
Fuse Together is a playful, creative workshop where I will show you how to use fuse beads to create cool things!. We will primarily focus on creating earrings or necklace plates so that you can wear them and make them useful however, once you have the basic skills, you are free to create anything that speaks to you (coasters, small patches of artwork etc).
Fuse beads might not look like much on their own, but with a bit of heat and pressure joining them together they transform into something beautiful - just like us.

IMPORTANT: Unfortunately, this particular venue that we book has an upstairs workshop space so is unsuitable for people who cannot go up concrete stairs unassisted. I have many other venues so please get in touch and I can let you know when our next event is coming up at a more accessible venue.
COLLABORATIVE GRID PLANS
As we create these pieces, we will swap out the plan for a photo of the finished piece. You can make grid squares at our workshops or email emmichanga@gmail.com and we can give you an address to mail grid squares to.
