Peyote with a Twist 101
The "Peyote with a Twist" technique developed by Gerlinde Lenz is one of the newer techniques that is very popular in beading today. The finished piece will look very similar to bead crochet without all the headaches of crochet. In this workshop we'll begin to learn the basics of the stitch using one main color of a size 11 seed bead and one contracting color to create a simple stripe.

Maybe you got stuck on a project at home after leaving a class or bead circle and need a little help finishing up, or maybe you just need some inspiration. Either way, we have you covered. There is no charge to participate in…
