Beadwork by Cindy Caraway

Class Schedule

Are you amazed by some of the wonderful beaded jewelry you see today but don't know where to start? Are the diagrams and directions in books and magazines confusing or just not detailed enough?
I have the classes for you!

In hopes of giving crafters the tools they need to tackle new beadwork projects, I concentrate on teaching techniques instead of finished projects. Each 1 hour class session costs just $10! Using basic materials, students will learn the tricks of each technique and have a small sample to take with them. The stitches covered in my Fall classes will include peyote, brick, right angle weave and herringbone. I will also be teaching sessions on Dutch spiral and peyote rope. More class choices will be added in January 2009 and will include bead embroidery, enclosing a cabochon in a peyote bezel and the Cellini spiral.

If you have any questions regarding my teaching schedule or would like me to teach at your shop or private party you may email me at cindycarawaybeadwork@yahoo.com.
