Make your reservation by June 30th at 202-633-4844 

 

Renowned as the "Queen of Beadwork" join educator and bead artist Joyce Scott introduce bead embroidery.  Bead embroidery is an ancient craft employed by many cultures to ornament and sculpt fabric.  The Ubuhle Bead Artists of South African create wonderful works using methods easy to learn, but this simplicity does not affect the complexity and sophistication of the design.  The class will teach basic bead stitching, design and finishing techniques.  A small art work, possibly a wall-hanging can be completed during the class. All materials will be provided for the workshop.  Reservations are required; call 202-633-4844.
