Anne-Laurie Adine

Anne-Laurie, designer of hand-woven glass bead brooches and earrings, as well as embroidered brooches.
I offer my services as an embroiderer: custom embroidery orders for clothing and accessories.

I also lead creative workshops in Annecy: embroidery and punch needle. These workshops can be booked for private events such as bachelorette parties, birthdays, workshops, and team-building activities.

My goal is to make these needlework activities accessible and bring them back into fashion by creating spaces for people to meet and share.
I regularly participate in craft fairs to connect with my customers.

My creative process for my glass bead brooches is comprehensive.
First, the idea for a design comes to me based on my mood, my time in nature, photos, and customer requests…
Then comes the creation of patterns on the computer. There, I refine the brooch’s size, shape, and colors… Little by little, I see the piece come to life, and I can’t wait to see how it looks in real life! I take my time choosing the colors of the beads.
Finally, I move on to weaving, bead by bead. Some people, watching me work, say, “How do you have the patience for that!” It calms me down and helps me clear my mind of all the thoughts swirling around.
All my jewelry is my own creation, from design to production, hand-woven with glass beads; some pieces are plated with 24-karat gold.
