Peyote stitch is probably the most popular beading stitch - but not always the easiest to learn! This class will cover basic even count peyote stitch. Students will make a small piece during class that can be turned into a ring, tube bead, pendant or the start of a bracelet. Project WILL NOT be completed in class. THIS IS A STITCH CLASS USING NEEDLE AND THREAD.

• several colors of delica, seed or cube beads (depending on project)

• assorted other beads for accents and edging (Intermediate students)

• beading needles

• stringing material (ex. Beadalon) - optional

• findings (ear wires, head pins, clasp, crimps) - optional

It took me a while to learn it but thanks to a WONDERFUL tip I learned from one of my beading idols, Leslie Rogalski, Peyote Stitch is my FAVORITE stitch! I'll pass along her tip and maybe it will become one of your favorites too!

Hope to see you soon. Happy beading!
