Using a new “twist” together with peyote stitch, NanC Meinhardt will teach the participants of this workshop to make an elegant yet easy to accomplish necklace. This necklace is composed of off-loom beaded elements connected to each other with an innovative method of bead stringing creating a braided effect. Designed by Deneen Matson, this piece lends itself to several variations and may be modified to fit your level of expertise. Two of the options that will be demonstrated are adding a second layer of beading to your components and choosing a mix of various size beads to use in the braided sections. Bring your own creative voice into the process to make a necklace as individual as you are.

Fill a baggie with some of your favorite beads in a range of sizes and shapes, in a color palette that pleases you. Bring them to this one-day workshop with NanC Meinhardt. Learn how the bracelet is made, using your knowledge of right-angle weave and a little magic. If you enjoy puzzles, this workshop is for you.
