Sherry Serafini

Saturday, August 2nd
10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Learn to address a rivoli by nestling it into Lacy’s Stiff Stuff to create a smooth backing for a brooch. The rivoli will be the focal point from which all other beads follow by creating beaded paths with embroidery. Color placement, design, and texture will all be explored!
