PEY2014:  Free Form Peyote Bracelet
Instructor:  Connie Welch
$40.00 fee  ($40.00 deposit reserves space)

Working with the peyote stitch, (or any other stitch, for that matter), does not only involve following a pattern.    The peyote stitch can be a useful technique to apply creatively, using a free form, sculptural approach.    In this class, we learn how to incorporate a variety of shapes and sizes of beads and charms in creating a freeform peyote bracelet, with a balanced overall design.
