Beadwork is a wonderfully mindful activity. In this 6 week beadwork course we will explore 6 of the more widely used stitches - Peyote Stitch, Brick Stitch, Square Stitch, Spiral Rope, Herringbone Stitch and Right Angle Weave. Using a needle, thread and some small beads we will learn the basics within these stitches to create a SAMPLE of each one. The aim of the course is to understand the foundation of these stitches in a relaxed and creative atmosphere. At the end of the course, you will have a sampler booklet of the 6 stitches. Each stitch is accompanied by high quality computer generated instructions for you to refer to later on.
