Pearl knotting is a beautiful technique and timeless aesthetic addition to any piece of handmade jewelry. This class will teach you the design and construction of a silk-knotted necklace using semi-precious stones and freshwater pearls. The knots add such depth and elegance that silk knotting has transitioned from a traditional technique to a commonly used modern technique in beaded jewelry designs. The silk adds a fluidity and textural effect that you can’t get from any other type of stringing.
