The Beading Lab is a deep dive into the colorful world of decorative techniques for needlepoint using beads. From foundational beading methods to creative applications that add texture, sparkle, and dimension, this class is designed to make embellishing approachable, inspiring and wildly fun. Whether bead-curious or already bead-obsessed, Beading Lab will completely change the way one looks at finishing a canvas while also building a Beading Lab Notebook that can be used as a reference long after class.

• WHAT TO EXPECT: Unlike a traditional project class, Lab classes focus on teaching techniques and thread behavior rather than completing a specific canvas. Students leave with new technical skills, a stitched reference sampler, and a professionally produced Lab Notebook that serves as a lasting reference. Lab Notebooks include a beautifully produced guide filled with technique instruction, charts, and reference materials, plus space to mount your own stitched samples.
  
  
• TO REGISTER: Registration and payment are handled right here through The Splendid Stitch, so all you have to do is claim your seat and arrive ready to stitch. Space is limited to 18 Seats and these tend to fill quickly, so check your calendar and reserve early.
