The Limitless Possibility of the Bead

Class Description

Taught by Caroline Gore

One day workshop: November 8th (11 AM - 6 PM)

In this one day efficient course we will dismantle the mysterious yet simple technique of hand knotting beads with silk.  The elemental knowledge gained will springboard a deep investigation of design possibilities in your work and prompt unique contemporary solutions for drawing with the bead. My approach is traditional using tweezers only. We will start using griffin carded silk and progress to the more versatile and complex method of using spooled silk thread with separate needles.  Bring your own fabricated clasps to work with or simply two jump rings for practice strands. Just say no to outsourcing - let's get this done!
