About

The word “genesis” means "beginning’ and this piece was the very first that instructor Chris Eisenberg created on her beading journey. The basis of the bracelet is the spiral stitch created by securing sections of beads around a center structure.

Despite its intricate and delicate look, it's a perfect pattern for beginners to start with while also being fulfilling for seasoned beaders. The first session will cover or review the fundamentals of bead weaving and all the steps required to begin this project. The second session will focus on problem-solving and finishing techniques.

A related bonus project will be explored as time allows!
