Techniques for Structural Peyote Stitch with Nancy Cain OnDemand Webinar

Description

Join beading teacher Nancy Cain for her web seminar that will teach you the basic processes of techniques within peyote stitch, you will experience and gain an understanding of three-dimensional bead sculpturing and engineering.

By understanding the foundational physics behind the stitch, and using the downloaded tutorial on making a 14mm hollow beaded ball, your peyote work will improve and allow you to begin expanding on what you can create.

Nancy’s personal journey of understanding the foundational aspect of peyote has enabled her to push boundaries in structural design. Much like building a home you can’t start a 3D structure from a pile of lumber without pre-planning. Learn how this same rule is applicable to beading 3D structures.

What you’ll learn:

• Why bead shape makes a difference and the differences between using round andcylinder beads in your designs.
• How math numbers work in peyote structure.
• Learn how the first five rounds of peyote are the key.
• Why peyote twists and curls and how thread really works.
• Techniques for creating your own 14mm hollow beaded ball to practice what you’ve learned from the included tutorial download.
