with Artist, Lisa Ballowe

The history of beadwork goes back several thousand years and is frequently found on ceremonial clothing in archeological sites throughout Europe, Africa, and Native American cultures. This is a great beginner class that will teach you the process of this ancient art of bead embroidery.

Students will receive step by step instructions on how to complete this beautiful hand sewn bracelet using the bead embroidery technique. There will be several colorways to choose from. This class will help in creating the foundation for future bead embroidery classes. Any hand sewing knowledge is helpful, but not required.

Students will receive a kit which includes all the materials as well as written instructions. Students are highly recommended to bring magnification (reading) glasses, sharp scissors, and a portable light if possible. The instructor will have some of these items available for use but remain property of the instructor. Lunch will not be supplied. Please feel free to bring a bagged lunch or something to snack on.
