Knotted Pearl Necklace Workshop

This is an afternoon session starting at 12pm. Beads are not included in the class price - see below for details!

Introduce yourself to one of the great basic techniques of beading! Learn to knot snugly and accurately between pearl or gemstone beads using Griffin beading thread and narrow tweezers. Choose from among Catherine's collection of pearls, ranging from off-rounds to baroques, from white to near-black.

All projects involving this kind of intensive knotting call for patience, but nothing flows like a well-crafted necklace using this technique. Be warned: Some of our students have become knotting addicts.

Pearls are not included in the class price! Students will need to bring their own or purchase beads at Nomad. We suggest that class attendees come in on a prior day to choose beads if not bringing their own. Nomad offers pearl strands in many colors starting at $10-$15.

Catherine recommends starting with pearls ranging no smaller than 4mm and no larger than 10mm diameter for this class! Nomad's friendly staff will be happy to help students pick something appropriate.
