In a reflection of the art and craft of bead embroidery, artist Jo Wood will lead you through your choice of one or two bead-embroidered projects, time permitting. The birch tree pin captures the essence of this tree species of the North. The lady slipper pin reflects the natural beauty of Minnesota's state flower. The Christmas tree pin is a perfect touch for a holiday gift. The dragonfly pin is playful in color and dimension. For the beginning beader this course offers an opportunity to learn basic stitches.
