Beading Weekend In France
A 3-day beading event run by myself and Liz Thornton.
The retreat takes place 26-28 June 2009 in a beautiful village in northern France. Each day will be filled with classes, good food and friendship.
Liz and myself have selected projects which complement each other and will give a wide range of beading techniques. We have enjoyed planning the weekend and look forward to seeing you there.
The classes will be:
Crystal Flowers by Jean Power (as shown in photo)
A project based class which mixes peyote and herringbone stitches as well as fringing to create a flower embellished jewellery set.
The beaded bracelet and matching earrings use seed beads mixed with crystals for added texture, sparkle and wow.
This class is an exclusive which has not been taught or published anywhere else and will not be available to anyone else before 2010.
Twist & Twine Necklace by Liz Thornton
Flamboyant, full of fringe and scattered with crystals and drops, this gorgeous spiralling necklace with pendant will catch everyone’s eye!
For more everyday occasions, wear the necklace on its own, fastened at the back of the neck with the separate closure.
Two stitches are used throughout: herringbone and right angle weave. A basic understanding of both stitches is advisable to get the most out of the class. However, full instructions for all the techniques will be given both in class and the handouts.
A feature of the pendant is a focal bead which should be chosen before attending the class. Advice on this will be given in the requirements list.
