Odyssey 3W - WAR - WEAVE - WAIT Virtual Zoom Masterclass February 6 & 7, 2027, 11:00 AM-5:00 PM EST

3W: WAR • WEAVE • WAIT

Somewhere between war and waiting, a story is woven…

Inspired by the timeless world of The Odyssey, this immersive two-day Zoom masterclass brings together three words, three coordinating pieces, and one powerful story.

WAR is represented by a dimensional bead-embroidered Greek warrior’s helmet—a symbol of courage, battle, and the long journey home. A clever mechanism allows the finished piece to be worn as either a brooch or pendant.

WEAVE comes to life in a dramatic statement necklace inspired by Penelope and her legendary weaving. Vertical strands of snake chain cross freely hanging curves of ball chain to create a basket-like structure, while a separately embroidered lyre forms the heart of the composition.

WAIT reflects Penelope’s patience, strength, and unwavering hope. Coordinating bead-embroidered earrings complete the collection, repeating its distinctive shapes, colors, textures, and flowing chains.

More than a project-based workshop, this masterclass offers an in-depth exploration of the creative decisions behind successful jewelry design. Students will explore how a story or idea can be transformed into contemporary wearable art through thoughtful material selection, construction, proportion, movement, layering, and composition.

The class will also explore how different materials can share a consistent visual language, how contrasting pieces can be unified into a cohesive collection, and how to recognize when a design needs another detail—or when it is complete.

Using a rich Mediterranean-inspired palette of turquoise, antique gold, bronze, and deep brown, students will develop their skills in advanced bead embroidery, mixed-media construction, dimensional elements, chains, professional finishing, and design problem-solving while creating the complete 3W collection: a necklace, earrings, and a warrior’s helmet brooch or pendant.

Monet’s Garden Live Virtual Zoom Workshop November 14, 2026, 11:00 AM-5:00 PM EST

Step into a world of shimmering color and dreamlike beauty with Monet’s Garden, a dimensional bead-embroidered necklace inspired by the luminous water gardens of Claude Monet.

This exquisite design transforms the atmosphere of Monet’s beloved garden into wearable art. Layers of sculpted petals, opalescent crystals, pearls, and delicate foliage emerge from a painterly bead-embroidered background, creating a dimensional garden filled with light, movement, and texture.

Rather than recreating a single painting, Katalin captures the poetry of Monet’s world—the gentle reflections on water, floating water lilies, soft colors, and the magical interplay of light and shadow. Each element comes together to create a necklace that feels almost like a tiny garden in bloom.

In this workshop, you’ll explore dimensional bead embroidery techniques while creating the layered floral and foliage elements that give Monet’s Garden its remarkable depth and movement. The result is a truly artistic statement piece that celebrates both beadwork and the beauty of nature.
