Nov. 8th 6-8pm
At Cold Mountain Art Collective
33 Adams St, Canton, NC 28716
This class is geared towards those seeking a more in-depth experience with beadwork and to build upon their introductory skills! We will be creating a pair of earrings to take home. I highly recommend taking the introduction to beadwork class prior to taking the advanced beginner. If you did not sign up for the first class, that’s okay! I just ask that you become familiar with the steps of completing basic brick stitch weaving prior to the class. I will do a review of the brick stitch but prior knowledge will help everyone advance to the more technical part of this class. We will learn how to create rows where we “add” and “subtract” beads from the stitch. I will also introduce the concept behind other weave patterns like the peyote stitch and square stitch.
If you usually require magnification or readers to see something within arm’s length I suggest that you bring your glasses or other equipment you may need. We will be working with small beads, threading needles, and following a pattern.
All materials will be provided and this workshop will introduce new materials such as Miyuki seed beads, thread of different weight and gauge, thread guards, and pattern templates.
What is provided:
-size 11 &12 needles
-Czech and Miyuki seedbeads
-2 pre-made patterns to choose from and/or a blank template to make your own pattern
-bonded nylon thread
-fireline thread
-a felt beading mat
-silver and gold nickel-free earring hooks
(if you have a metal sensitivity please reach out prior to the class date to let me know, I have sterling silver and 14k gold filled options for a $5 charge)
-printed guide to brickstitch weaving with a materials list
*photos shown are not indicative of the patterns that will be used for class but examples of what you can expect I will send an email a week prior with the three patterns we will choose from during class*
