Marquis Component Necklace Class
Copper wired and gold beaded marquis components are wired and linked together with bold chain, accented by sparkling dangles.
Lekku Necklace Class
Embellish with increasing beads over a netting base and learn to incorporate a small amount of basic wirework into beadwork for added stability. The combination of various techniques come together to form a beautifully draping neck piece.
Beon Freo Cuff Class
With the guidance of a master beadweaver, spend a whole day exploring the art of beading freely and answering the question "what if?". Bring your open mind and participate in explorative exercises to boost creativity and begin to think differently beginning with this project. Discuss possibilities for your piece including components and overall feel, assembly and finishing. Written directions for the base, fringe, and several components are provided. Knowledge of any variation of at least two of the following stitches is required: herringbone, peyote, brick and right-angle weave. Pre-work assignment which consists of creating the cuff base with any stitch you desire is provided in advance of class.
