Two and a half days to have fun with beads - learning, practicing and creating - on lovely San Juan Island - at the friendly Earthbox Inn and Spa! You can bring your partner, friend or spouse to enjoy spring wildflowers, hikes, kayaking, bicycle exploring on San Juan Island, while YOU play with beads.
March 29 - evening
Gathering at a local shop (yes, of course, beads) to meet me and the other students, and enjoy some light refreshments.
March 30-31 - all day + optional evenings + delicious, hot, catered lunch on both days
Improvisational Bead Embroidery, my favorite in the whole-world workshop to teach.
Learn all of the basic techniques for sewing beads on fabric, including high relief and textural variations, bezels, edge stitches, and fringing techniques. Practice them on a sampler similar to the one below.
Then begin to work on a small piece of bead embroidery, which can be made into a pouch, appliqued on a large bag, framed, sewn into a quilt, or one of many other possibilities. Throughout the two days, I will be teaching how to work improvisationally, without a plan or drawing, in a way that is fun and very empowering!
April 1 - morning
Beady Problem Solutions

Bring any type of beadwork to this session.Register now! Enrollment is limited to 12 students to provide for one-on-one instruction for every student.
Cost:
$250 for Gathering and Improvisational Bead Embroidery workshop

Hello James and thanks for visiting my blog. I tried to register on your site, but something seems to be wrong with your password field. I couldn't get on it. Actually, I'm not eager to be part of a commercial site. I've intentionally kept my blog free of commercialism, except to notify readers of my own workshops.
DeleteAs I read this, I was thinking it was at some tropical resort.. until I realized it was in Washington State. Haha. Sounds like fun though!! :D
