Two and a half days to have fun with beads - learning, practicing and creating - on lovely
San Juan Island - at the friendly
Earthbox Inn and Spa!
You can bring your partner, friend or spouse to enjoy spring
wildflowers, hikes, kayaking, bicycle exploring on San Juan Island,
while YOU play with beads.
March 29 - evening
Gathering at a local shop (yes, of course, beads) to meet Robin and the other students, and enjoy some light refreshments.
March 30-31 - all day + optional evenings + delicious, hot, catered lunch on both days
Improvisational Bead Embroidery, her favorite in the whole-world workshop to teach.
Learn all of the basic techniques for sewing beads on fabric, including
high relief and textural variations, bezels, edge stitches, and fringing
techniques. Practice them on a sampler similar to the one below.
Then begin to work on a small piece of bead embroidery, which can be
made into a pouch, appliqued on a large bag, framed, sewn into a quilt,
or one of many other possibilities. Throughout the two days, Robin will be
teaching how to work improvisationally, without a plan or drawing, in a
way that is fun and very empowering!
April 1 - morning

right," or pieces that you don't know how to finish. Bring any type of
beadwork to this session.
