Celestial Virtual Classes

posted: Thursday, 19 March 2026

Celestial is here!

Virtual classes for this series of geometric beadwork have launched with lots of dates & times so I hope one is suitable for you.

These classes are 3-sessions (spread over 3 months) intermediate/ advanced class to create a stunning beaded vessel with multiple accompanying lids/ pendants/ ornament.

Even better is that as well as the classes, and of course all the support from me, there are 16 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.

'Celestial' combines geometric beadwork with optional different sizes of Rivolis 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.
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:

  • 12 and/ or 14mm Rivolis (optional)
  • Size 11 Cylinder beads e.g. Delicas, Aikos or Treasures
  • Size 15 Miyuki seed beads (if using Rivolis)
  • 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 at different dates & times:

You can do the classes on:
Fridays 19th June, 17th July & 21st August

Saturdays 20th June, 18th July & 22nd August

Fridays 2nd October, 13th November & 4th December
