Beadwork class offered by River Arts Kamiah Orofino artist Teresa Shelton will teach a contemporary beadwork class at River Arts Kamiah at 6-8 p.m. Tuesdays, June 3-24. In this four-week contemporary beadwork series participants will learn the basics of off-loom beadweaving using needle, thread, and seed beads. Each class will teach a beading stitch or concept with a pattern for a small piece of jewelry (ring, pendant, or earrings) which can be started in class and finished on your own time after class. Previous beadweaving experience is not required and any experience with hand sewing, cross stitch, or embroidery will be beneficial. By integrating mathematics and physics principles with tiny seed beads, Teresa Shelton creates sculptural and wearable art. With every stitched bead, she incorporates structure, form, movement, and color to achieve bold statement pieces with unexpected surprises. All supplies are included with the $40 supplies fee.
