About this course

Learn the basics of beadweaving to create jewellery using a needle and thread to weave glass beads together.

Each week you will learn a new beadweaving stitch to create a piece of jewellery. In week one you will learn how to make a right angle weave bracelet, in week two a beaded bead using peyote stitch and in week three you will create a pendant or pair of earrings using brick stitch. Please note that the beads used are quite small, so make sure to bring your glasses if needed.

What will learners achieve by the end of the course?
