​
This workshop will explore off loom bead weaving techniques and the exciting world of beads!
We will explore mainly the peyote stitch and will explore ladder, brick and fringe technique also. Larger format plastic beads will be used to understand technique and build on foundational stitches and the many ways beads can be connected.
You will be able to stay within the larger format plastic beads or switch to small 11/0 sized delica beads to create a small pendant, keychain or object of your choosing.
This is a workshop for bead weaving beginners, folks looking to develop bead techniques and beaders who want to sit and bead together - come and explore!
