'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.

Inspired by stained glass Rose Windows, Chartres uses multiple geometric and crystal based components that can be used in a variety of different ways and the instructions will cover multiple of these.

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 and deciding how to use your colours- there is a file and a video to help with this)

  • 8mm Chatons
