In The Spool Shaped Bead online workshop, artist and designer Alma Stoller teaches how to use surface design techniques to create a unique fabric bead. The obvious use for a bead like this is jewelry, but you could also use the large decorative bead in mixed media fabric art or to embellish home decor items. The workshop includes information on free motion sewing, beading on fabric, beading a loop, beading a cascading fringe, and creating a beaded picot. Registration is $25. To promote her workshop, she’s giving away a registration to one of her readers. Get the details about the workshop and the giveaway at her blog.
