Advance Your Beading Skills with a Seasonal Twist

Continue your beading journey with our Peyote Stitch Pumpkin Earring Class, a Level 1 workshop designed for those who have a basic understanding of beading and are ready to build on their skills.

This 5-hour class introduces the peyote stitch technique — a staple in beadwork known for its beautiful, woven texture and versatility. You’ll create a festive pair of pumpkin earrings, perfect for celebrating the autumn season while refining your stitch precision and pattern-building skills.

All materials are included, and by the end of the class, you’ll take home your very own handmade pair of beaded pumpkin earrings.

In this class, you will learn:

• How to follow and read a peyote stitch pattern

• Proper tension, thread management, and bead placement

• How to increase and decrease rows to create shape

• How to finish your piece and attach earring hooks securely

• Tips on color coordination and bead uniformity for clean results

By the end of this session, you’ll have completed a full pair of earrings and developed the confidence to explore more intricate beadwork projects on your own.
