Watercolor With Pearl Early Summer - 2 ~ Ongoing
2025-06-03 05:30 - 07:30, 2025-06-10 05:30 - 07:30 | River Arts, 416 Main Street, Suite E, Kamiah, 83536, United States

Contemporary Beadwork
2025-06-03 11:00 - 13:00 | River Arts, 416 Main Street, Suite E, Kamiah, 83536, United States
This four-week contemporary beadwork series (6-8 p.m. Tuesdays, June 3-24) will teach you the basics of off-loom beadweaving using needle, thread, and seed beads. Each class will teach a beading stitch or concept with a pattern for a small piece of jewelry (ring, pendant, or earrings) which can be started in class and finished on your own time after class. The series is designed to build on the knowledge learned from the previous class so it is best taken in the series; however, a confident beginner should be able to be successful with any individual class. Previous beadweaving experience is not required and any experience with hand sewing, cross stitch, or embroidery will be beneficial.
All supplies will be provided for a $10 supply fee per class: $40 total.
Class 1: Even-count peyote stitch ring with daisy motif
Class 2: Trinity necklace (folded flat triangle)
Class 3: Warped Square earrings
Class 4: Tri-Wing ring

NOTE: Each of the first three classes can be taken as a stand-alone class with a $10 per class supplies fee (just bring the fee in person). The last class is a culmination of the first three classes and is a culmination of the series so the first three classes are required for that class. Register for the full series below.
Teresa Shelton Bio
By integrating mathematics and physics principles with tiny seed beads, I create sculptural and wearable art. With every stitched bead, I incorporate structure, form, movement, and color into my artwork to achieve bold statement pieces with unexpected surprises.
In the 90’s, I wandered into a bead shop and bought a book on Native American beadweaving techniques and a few tubes of mixed seed beads. That was enough to start my love of beadweaving. Over the past ten years, I have become passionate about geometric beadweaving, and my occupation as a printed circuit board manufacturability engineer inspires the geometric style in my art and allows me to easily merge the technical with the creative. I currently live in Orofino with my husband, some crazy chickens, and a demanding feline overlord. Learn more at www.teresashelton.com

Watercolor With Pearl Summer 2025
2025-07-15 03:00 - 05:00 | River Arts, 416 Main Street, Suite E, Kamiah, 83536, United States
Artist Pearl Maxner will teach this four-class watercolor series 10 a.m. to noon Tuesdays, July 15-29 and August 5.
Explore watercolor painting with step-by-step instructions on the use of color and light and capturing mood and emotion. Paint with confidence and trust in the flow of color in your life. All supplies provided.
Ages 15 and up. All supplies provided.
FREE
Pearl Maxner grew up knee-deep in a creek behind her childhood home in California in the foothills of Sequoia National Park and is delighted to have come full circle, finding herself once more living on the banks of a creek in Idaho County. This amazing creation never ceases to astound her and she spends time photographing, sketching, and painting the beauty.
She has worked as a fire lookout in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, a lifeguard, a trail guide for a state park, a folk singer in a restaurant, motel maid, swim instructor, elementary school teacher in Hawaii and Oregon, organic farmer in Hawaii, and as a writer and illustrator of children’s books and other publications. She currently gives watercolor seminars at the Monastery of St. Gertrude in Cottonwood. Friends and family are paramount in her life. Still an avid gardener, she would rather have her hands in the dirt than just about anywhere else. She feels very blessed indeed to have experienced so much of the good this life has to offer.
