Heather Kingsley-Heath Classes via Zoom!
|
Each design is made because I love to wear beadwork. Next it is taught in classes and workshops because much of my year is taken up visiting to teach groups and travelling to shows and events. I love it because every class is different, but they each have at their heart the pure pleasure of beading together. The moment when an idea clicks for a beginner is magical, equally so, when an experienced beader turns at the end of the day to say they have had a great day and discovered something new.
Sometimes the story of an idea is too big for just one design, so I write books too. My books are a way of sitting down and having a conversation with you, each chapter revealing a new design, or a fresh way to use a technique. |
Friday, February 25 - The Light Gets In
Light Gets In is a beaded bezel technique specially for un-foiled chatons of various sizes. In this class we'll create bezels for two sizes of chaton, then look at the options for linking and joining them to make necklaces.
This workshop will be held on the Zoom app. You must have a laptop or tablet with a camera and microphone and a WiFi connection. Zoom is a free app and easy to download on either a Windows or Apple platform.
Directions and any materials you require will be mailed, so please register early to insure that you receive the materials before the class!
Saturday, February 26 - Celtic Princess
|
A charming medley of beads and metallics, the Celtic Princess is a gorgeous piece to bead and wear.
Grown from a delicate filigree metal frame, the beadwork is a rich mix of 8mm Chatons, seed beads and lots of 4mm crystals. A sweet bail section creates the transition from pendant to necklace strap and allows the whole piece to move easily when worn. Skill level: intermediate, to advanced, confident with thread tension and able to make thread path and direction changes. Techniques: Albion stitch, Right Angle Weave and Netting.
