Jewelry Design: Carmella’s Crochet

In this one-session class, students will create a woven bead wristlet using glass beads, pearls, and/or semi-precious stones. Off-loom bead weaving is a technique that uses string and a needle to weave beads into a flat fabric, a tube, or a three-dimensional object. Students will need to have basic crochet skills, which include the ability to create a chain stitch. Building on this skill, the class teaches a flat crochet technique created by the teacher to include pearls, glass beads, and semi-precious stones in a crochet necklace and or double-wrapped bracelet.

All necessary materials and tools are provided. A base kit will be provided and is included in the class fee. Opportunities to upgrade your kit for an extra charge will be available during the class meeting. Each kit enables the students to make a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry.
