Woman's Weekly: Guide to Beading By Jean Power (Paperback)

Description:

If you can’t get to a beading class or workshop close to home or work, this skill-building book is the next best thing. For the beginner and the improver, it’s a passport to successful learning. covering different types of stringing, wirework and beadwork, Jean Power introduces the materials and techniques one step at a time, including pearl knotting, hammering and stitch patterns for multi-stranded items of jewellery. Each well-illustrated section concludes with three projects – a ‘quick start’ idea and two by guest designers.

Features include: hundreds of detailed how-to photographs, carefully annotated so it is easy for you to see what you should be looking at; guest designers sharing some of their favourite patterns; 'quick-start' projects for beginners who are impatient to try out their skills on designs that don’t need much in the way of materials or time and really useful lists sprinkled throughout the pages for readers who want to quickly understand the essentials.

Plus, beaders' clinics, where 'Doctor' Jean solves her students’ beading dilemmas.
