First Chartres Class Of 2025

posted: Monday, 06 January 2025

Not long until my first new Chartres class of 2025 begins!

If you're not a virtual class person then don't worry; the project includes detailed written instructions plus 20+ online videos you can watch at any time (and as many times as you wish; they're yours to watch forever online!) so you don't even need to attend the class if you don't want to

There are only a couple of places left on this class but it may be repeated later in 2025 so do contact me if you want to be told when (and as you get 26 online videos showing the whole project being beaded from start to finish plus all the techniques needed then you never actuality have to come to class!).

'Chartres' combines advanced geometric beadwork with different sizes & shapes of beads and crystals to create a series of beadwork that encompasses vessels, ornaments and jewellery.

This is an intermediate to advanced project and participants must be comfortable with Peyote Stitch and small beads.

Full written instructions as well as 26 online videos (which you can watch any time) are included for you.

There is some preparation work (choosing your beads & deciding how to use your colours- there is a file and a video to help with this).

A full requirements list will be sent when you book but the general requirements are:

  • 8mm Chatons
  • 4mm Bicone crystals
  • Size 11 Cylinder beads e.g. Delicas, Aikos or Treasures
  • Size 15 Miyuki seed beads
  • Beading needle & thread of choice (I recommend a flexible thread)

This class has 3 sessions (each 3 hours with a 15-minute break) with optional homework in-between and they take place on Saturdays 1st February, 1st March & 5th April at a time suitable for evening UK/ Europe and daytime North America
