CENTER FOR BEADWORK & JEWELRY ARTS 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.
