This group is a mixed beading group with some members making peyote beading and others making jewellery using beads

Susan is happy to help anyone get started with peyote beading and has a series of beginners patterns and YouTube videos to help people learn. A starter kit for peyote beading will cost around £5 with beads and consumables extra. Equipment can be loaned for a taster session and you will start with big beads which are free so you can see what it happening and so we can see and talk about it easily . If you want to see more on peyote beading please visit Susan’s website to see some of her beadwork over the last 15 years. Other group members may be able to help with the wires and fixings used in jewellery making.
