Bead weaving is an old art form which dates back almost 4000 years. Historical references to beadwork in clothing, accessories, shoes,3D structures, wall hangings, sculptures etc. can be found all over the world across Egypt,India,Africa,Japan,Europe etc.
How is it different from regular beading/stringing?
Bead weaving is often-times confused with beaded jewelry, but it’s far from it in both its look and making. Regular beaded jewelry making is all about stringing various kinds and shapes of beads to form a piece of jewelry of your choice, unlike bead weaving, where you use various weaving techniques and the raw materials are mostly tiny seed beads which range in sizes from 1.5mm to 4mm depending on the project. Off-loom bead weaving uses a needle and thread to connect small beads together to create an almost limitless variety of designs. Once you get started you’ll be hooked forever! Using the base techniques, you can create beautiful, intricate jewellery pieces and you are only limited by your imagination.
