Workshops

Join me for either in-person or virtual instruction and practice making unique beadwork designs. Each workshop is hosted by a different venue or organizer. In a workshop, you’ll learn the techniques necessary to complete the project, and will practice your new skills by stitching several parts of the project. You’ll be able to finish up after the workshop on your own time, by accessing online video demonstrations which show every step.

Kits are offered for most workshop projects in multiple colorways.
