Pearl knotting is a great craft for those who enjoy detail and precision. It creates a balance and an elegance in what could otherwise be a bland string of pearls, and though it seems complicated, is actually affordable and low-tech enough to do at home. Pearl knotting can be used with other materials as well, such as semi-precious stones. In this one day workshop, we'll cover how to knot correctly, how to trouble-shoot errors, how to securely affix clasps and how to work with more than one strand of materials. We'll work with both center drilled and top drilled materials. Each student will leave with a simple finished bracelet, or other simple project of their choice. We'll also discuss how one might combine pearls and pearl knotting with other jewelry or industrial design techniques. So come learn how to build a classic pearl necklace - or expand the technique by adding your own voice and style - in this one day workshop.
