Seed Beading Intensive 3-hour class

Description:  Still a great class for beginners!   Pretty much the same as the Seed Beading Starter class, but the extra hour allows students to learn more than one basic stitch or move on to more advanced variations.   

Students will Learn:  Students learn about the differences in seed beads, choices for needles and threads, and choose the stitch they want to learn during the class.  Students will start with a basic flat stitch and learn variations as time permits.  Instructor:  Kim Humphrey   

Class Fee:  $30 (Materials extra.)
