Beadwoven Ropes with Mara Colecchia
This workshop teaches the creation of playful beaded ropes that can be worn like lariat necklaces, knotted on one’s décolleté. Colecchia will demonstrate three specific tubular weaving techniques: Chenille, Peyote and Cubic Right Angle, as well as how to transition from one to another. Colecchia will discuss her beading style, showcasing different types of lariats, to stimulate a creative and personal approach to the classic beaded rope.
Students will complete their work at home, with the help of the printed instructions provided by instructor.
Some experience required: Basic beading or stitching skills are required and advanced beginners are welcome.
