Mala & Prayer Bead Making Workshop

Join us for a peaceful, creative workshop where you’ll learn the art and tradition of mala and prayer bead making. Whether you want to create a full mala, half mala, mini mala, or even a rosary, this workshop gives you the freedom to design something meaningful and completely personal.

What’s Included

A brief history of malas and prayer beads, their purpose, and how they are traditionally used.
All the materials needed to create one of the following:
Full Mala – 90–100+ beads
Half Mala – approximately 45–55 beads
Mini (¼) Mala – approximately 27 beads
Guidance on traditional mala-making guidelines, including bead counts and layout.
A wide selection of beads and accents to choose from:
wood, stone, glass, metal, bone, seeds, spacers, and more.
The opportunity to choose your own guru bead/large focal bead from those provided, or bring one from home if it holds personal significance.
Hands-on instruction in several construction techniques, then time to work freely and intuitively on your design.
The ability to design your own layout before stringing, ensuring your mala or prayer beads reflect your style, intention, and energy.

Special Notes

If you’d like to make a rosary, please bring your own crucifix.
If you prefer to bring all your own materials, you’re welcome to join the class for instruction and guidance only.

Please note: Malas do not need to be made from identical beads—creative combinations and mixed materials are encouraged! There will be plenty of beads available for everyone to share. If you need a specific type of bead or want your mala to be made entirely from one material, please bring your own supplies, as we cannot guarantee full matching sets from our shared collection.
