Weave stunning statement earrings inspired by the beautiful colours of the Scarlet Macaw. The wing feather components are a fiddly but satisfying piece to stitch. We’ll then bezel crystal rivolis using right-angle weave (RAW) and embellish these with stitch-in-the-ditch and peyote to create frilly petals reminiscent of the macaw’s plumage.

Have fun experimenting with colour in this versatile project; tone it down with sparkling hues for elegant accessories or go bold with colours inspired by nature!

These components have many more uses than simply earrings – and the instructions will include plenty of tips and inspiration for making coordinating necklaces, pendants and more!

You will be sent a PDF upon booking with the requirements list along with notes and suggestions on choosing your colours. The pattern and Zoom link will be sent one week prior to the class.

Online Workshop Requirements

The class will be taught using Zoom online meeting software. This will allow you to see me and your fellow classmates (you will have the ability to mute or turn off your camera at any point if you wish). We can also share photos as we work.

You will need a computer/laptop, smartphone or tablet with camera and audio capabilities. You will need to download the free Zoom software or app to your computer, phone or tablet in advance of the meeting. Full details of how to join the online meeting will be sent to you upon booking. The app/software is free and you do not need to create an account to attend the class.

About the class

Class sizes are kept small so you can be guaranteed plenty of help and support. I will have two cameras in use during the class so you will be able to see my demonstrations up close in high definition as well as my face! There is a messaging function in addition to the meeting audio as well so plenty of opportunity to ask questions and discuss the project. My classes are fun and informal with plenty of opportunity for discussion and general chatter.

If you cannot make the session I will try to swap you to another date for the same class if available, but unfortunately this cannot be guaranteed. If swapping is not possible then I will offer a refund, providing at least 8 days’ notice is given prior to the class start time. Unfortunately, once the Zoom link and pattern have been sent out no refunds can be given after this time.

I am always available if you have any questions on the project after the workshop.

If you have any questions please contact me. I’m looking forward to seeing you!
