Chartres Virtual Class 2026

posted: Sunday, 15 March 2026

Chartres is back!

A brand new set of dates for this 3-part (spread over 3 months) intermediate/ advanced class to create a stunning beaded vessel with multiple lids/ pendants.

Even better is that as well as the classes, and of course all the support from me, there are 26 online videos which you can watch at any time (as much as you want for as long as you want!) showing the whole project being beaded from start to finish plus all the techniques needed so you never actuality have to come to class if you don't want to!

'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 and we'll also explore it in class)

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 Fridays 3rd July, 7th August & 4th October at a time suitable for Uk/ Europe & North American time zones and you can book here
