Description
Do you love sparkly beads and embroidery? Here’s your chance to combine both! If you can sew, you can do bead embroidery. We’ll begin with basic ways to bead around a cabochon, then go on to create and join different components, adding dimension and texture, and incorporating non-traditional items into your beadwork. Finishing will include how to make a few different beaded ropes/straps to wear your pieces. The options are endless!
Francie Broadie has been beading and teaching beadwork in the Midwest since 2000, including the Bead and Button Show in Milwaukee and Bead Fest in Philadelphia. She is well-versed in bead weaving and glass fusing, having studied with multiple teachers since 1995. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Kenyon College and a Master of Arts degree from the University of Indianapolis. Seed beads are Francie’s favorite, but she will bead anything. Her goal in life is to cram as much ‘beady info’ into her brain as possible. In her spare time Francie stitches, knits, sews, paints and dabbles in photography.
