Frauke Gugat's Starlight Sovereign / December 11, 2026
Starlight Sovereign Live Virtual Zoom Workshop December 11, 2026, 10:00 AM-4:00 PM EST
Step into the majestic beauty of the night sky and weave your own elegant statement necklace. Starlight Sovereign seamlessly blends architectural precision with a timeless, sovereign grace. At its heart lies a striking, crown-like central focal piece framed by intricate lace-like geometry, suspended from a delicate star-studded chain and finished with a sweeping, cascading drop pendant.
In this 6-hour masterclass, you will dive deep into advanced beadweaving architecture. You will master the intricate arts of Cubic Right Angle Weave (CRAW) and Diagonal Right Angle Weave (DRAW) to build fluid, three-dimensional structures that offer both strength and effortless drape. Together, we will bezel glowing crystal focal stones, construct dimensional star motifs, and unite them into a showstopping piece of wearable art.
Gather your favorite palette of seed beads and crystals to bring your personal sovereign vision to life!
