Karen Saltus The Art of Adornment Workshop at Big Blue Gallery

The Art of Adornment

with Karen Saltus

Discover the art of bead embroidery in a welcoming, hands-on workshop guided by your own creativity. Rather than following a pattern, you'll design a project that's uniquely your own, such as a pair of earrings, pendant or brooch, or a decorative bead-embroidered piece that can be incorporated into a jacket, vest, handbag, scarf or wall hanging.

Explore colour, texture, composition and design choices while developing a project that reflects your own interests and creative vision. Feel free to bring a favourite button, stone, bead, shell, charm, piece of fabric or found object to incorporate into your design.

Perfect for beginners and experienced makers alike.
