CraftED: Beaded Necklaces with Nichol Marsch
Workshop Description:
Join us for a two day workshop with Nichol Marsch, where you will make your very own beaded necklace. Participants will be provided with all supplies required to complete the project and some extra to take home and continue their beading practice. A selection of patterns will be provided however participants are also encouraged to adapt the patterns or make their own if they choose. All skill levels are welcome, Nichol will guide you through each step of the creation process from start to finish. On day one we will create our patterns, prepare the supplies, and begin the beading process. On Day two we will assemble the necklaces, prepare the necklaces for edging, and then complete the beaded edging around the necklace to finish off the pieces. Participants will have time to complete their beading between the two sessions.
