Description

Learn the essentials of bead embroidery as you transform stones into stunning focal points. We’ll begin with the foundational skill of bezeling, then build outward with decorative accents—pearls, bugle beads, seed beads, crystals, and more. Each technique will be clearly explained and demonstrated. Once your stones are set and surrounded with embellishments, you’ll complete your piece with professional finishing touches: backing, edging, fringe, and a pin back. By the end of class, you’ll have a beautifully finished bead-embroidered creation and the skills to design more on your own.

*No experience required; Supply kits for the first project are included; additional tools and supplies will be discussed in class.

REFUND POLICY: To receive a refund, students must submit their request at least 2 weeks before the first class. No refunds or transfers are guaranteed after this time. To withdraw from a class, you are required to email ChastainArts@AtlantaGA.gov and include your name, the class name, and your reason for withdrawal. The option to accept an account credit for the class withdrawal is preferred. If a withdrawal/refund is requested after 2 weeks prior to or after the class has begun, a $30 administration fee will be deducted and only an account credit will be processed to be used for future class registrations, clay purchases, and future purchases in our gift shop & gallery. If a class has begun at minimum enrollment, we cannot process refunds or credits after the first class has already started. If you register for a class after the session has begun, only an account credit will be processed if a withdrawal is requested. Anyone registered for a figure class with a model will be required to pay the model fee on the first day of class with cash or check to the instructor. Even if you request a withdrawal after the first day of class, you will be required to pay the model fee calculated based on enrollment on the first-class meeting. The Chastain Arts Center is not responsible for classes missed due to student absences. Please discuss any unavoidable absences with your instructor.
