Jayashree Paramesh Classes via Zoom!

Picture
Jayashree Paramesh was introduced to the world of beads through a bead embroidery class she took while a student at Parsons, The New School for Design, New York. She looks everywhere for inspiration and then creates from within. Her designs are more about her desire to bring out the unique beauty of the beads and the woman, rather than having a signature style.

Her designs have been published in Perlen Poesie, Beadwork, and Bead and Button. She has taught and continues to teach at various studios and stores across the USA, Bead and Button Shows, exclusive bead retreats, bead cruises, and Bead Guilds. Her designs have been published in Perlen Poesie, Beadwork, and Bead and Button.
