Description: |
In this hands on workshop students
will learn and practice the different ways the diagonal
peyote stitch can be used in wearables, ornamentation, and
objects. A very good example of the use of
diagonal peyote stitch is the
russian leaf. The russian leaf has always reminded me of the
crochet leaves in Irish crochet lace. Its use just as
versatile.
A different bead, color or shape,
a tweak in the set up row or a change in direction half way
through your work and what first looked like a leaf turns
into a feather, a row of flower petals, or the wing of an
insect.
During this class we will use the
directions for the Russian Summer necklace as a guide in our
diagonal bead work explorations. This gives every
student the opportunity to step in
on their own level and go home with more knowledge and the
inspiration to recreate this necklace or create their
own personal design. |
