BEADWORKING WITH HUIB PETERSEN:
"CATHERINE" RUSSIAN BEADLACE
Instructor:
Huib Petersen
Level: Beginning & Intermediate
|
In this one-day workshop with bead artist Huib Petersen, you will learn to make the “Catherine” Russian beadlace. This bead work, originating from Russia, is made up from small components: leaves and starflowers. These are then stitched together, and here’s where your own creativity comes in. The possibilities are endless, from a simple necklace to whole pieces of clothing. It all depends on how you decide to connect the pieces. The leaves are stitched with increases on one, and decrease on the other side, which gives your work all the advantages of fabric cut on the bias. The workshop is designed to be accessible for
beginners, but also offers new skills for those already familiar with peyote stitch.
