Programs and Workshops

Zoom Programs:

Program and Demo: 60-90 Minute Remote includes a talk about my artwork/process up to the current piece(s) I am working on. I leave time for a 20-minute demo to show work on my current weaving in studio. This is usually a Double-Weave Pick-Up or a Theo Moorman Inlay weaving technique. Attendees can ask more detailed weaving questions that I can answer while I weave.

Zoom Workshop:

Two-Drop Peyote Bracelet, 4 hours, Max 15 students
As long as you can thread a needle, you’re good to go for this beginner peyote stitch workshop! Students will learn the stitch, once we get everyone going I’ll discuss designing, bead ideas and how I use this stitch, towards the end of class I make sure everyone learns how to add the loop and pearl clasp.
Kit includes: 2 needles, thread, seed beads (1 or 2 colors), pearl, instructions and peyote graph paper.

Zoom Workshop:

St. Petersburg Chain Stitch Bracelet, 6 hours, Max 10 students
St. Petersburg Chain Stitch has a lot of twists and turns so some beadweaving experience is preferred for this class but I’ve you already do a lot of stitching you can will probably be able to follow along. Students will learn the intricacies of this stitch, once we get everyone going I’ll discuss designing, bead ideas/options and how I use this stitch, towards the end of class I make sure everyone learns how to add the loop and pearl clasp.
Kit includes: 2 needles, thread, seed beads (2 different sizes), pearl, instructions.

This St. Petersburg Chain Stitch Workshop will be in-person with the Midwest Weavers Conference 2023, Des Moines, IA

Zoom Workshop:

Russian Leaf Earrings, 6 hours, Max 10 students
This detailed bead stitch is a variation on peyote so it is best if students understand how the peyote stitch works first. Students will learn how to make a full leaf from start to finish along with how to hang it on an earwire. Every student moves at their own pace on this stitch, most finish 2 leaves, some finish 4+.
Kit includes: 2 needles, thread, seed beads (1 or 2 colors), earwires, instructions.
