Hunterdon County Senior Center
4 Gauntt Place, Bldg. #1, Flemington, NJ
Peyote bead stitch can be used in many different ways. Variations of peyote stitch are flat peyote, circular peyote, tubular peyote, and more complex versions. Flat and circular peyote stitch can be used to make 3-dimensional objects. Once learned, peyote can be considered to be a form of quiet, mindful meditation for many beaders.
Kathy Corbo will lead an instructional lesson in flat peyote stitch for beginners, though experienced bead weavers are also welcome! There will be a number of examples to show some of what can be done with peyote bead stitch.
Kathy will have size 8 seed beads, 6lb Fireline thread, and 2-inch size 10 needles to use for practice, at no cost. Attendees are welcome to bring their own supplies if desired.
