Laurie :Porter is our beading teacher for jewelry.  She has taught  these 
classes before and this is her non busy time of year.  She is the jam  lady 
in Wisconsin and does the Farmer's Markets a good part of the year.   So 
Laurie yell out here and how about planning a beading class for us?

I have  recently begun learning bead weaving. I didn't know there was
anything more  than stringing beads before a friend sat me down and got me
started. There  have been a couple of classes in the past on this group that
hopefully will  be repeated. I have learned the Peyote stitch and the 
Russian
Spiral, thus  far. I began learning Right Angle Weave, but didn't get far in
my first  lesson. The only one of these stitches I can do independently thus
far,  from start to finish, is Peyote and I learned the one drop stitch
first.  You can do multiple bead drops in Peyote. I know this sounds like
Greek to  you, but it has to do with how many beads you put on at a time. In
one  drop, I have made two bracelets. It is a flat bracelet, much like a  
wide
watch band only made of beads that snug up to one another very close  and in
a pattern. It is pretty easy for me to feel with size 8 seed beads.  I know
some people work with size 15 beads which are roughly half the size  of a
size 8 bead. They are tiny and I have seen a cuff style bracelet made  with
size 15 beads and it is so fine that it feels like silk. It's amazing.  I'm
not proficient enough to teach a class, but hopefully Joyce will be  able to
find someone on the list who will. I would love to take bead  weaving 
classes
through this group as well as working with my friend. She  is a great
teacher, but we both struggle with starting and finishing  projects. Good
luck to you.

do you know of a good source for information about beading  and beaded
jewelry making?  I'm newly retired,but  craft  impaired.   I'd really like 
to
learn this as I have friends who  do it but don'thave the time to teach me. 
I
want to make nice stuff not the  kind of beading my three year old grand
daugter gives me.  Of course i  treasure that but I'm quite a bit older.
Anxiously awaint ann answer and  have a blessed  day.
