Connections: A Curated Collection by Kate

This curated collection is all about what happens when beautiful materials from different places, traditions, and makers come together.

Connections assembles an earthy, eclectic collection of handmade brass and recycled glass beads from Ghana and Indonesia, as well as, colorful trade beads, stone pi discs and a Kate-custom Japanese bead mini mix created especially to pull the whole palette together.

There are rustic saucers and melons, tiny glass spacers, artisan brass shapes, recycled glass, millefiori designs, and a trio of semi-precious stone Pi Discs in aventurine, red jasper, and dragon jasper. Every piece has its own personality, yet they all seem to belong together!

And that is really the idea behind Connections...

There is no single way to use this gathering of timeless quality. String it, layer it, knot it, build a talisman, make a necklace, create a stack of bracelets, or pull pieces from the kit to combine with your own bead stash. Use your imagination and follow the connections that speak to you.

Kate has a few ideas of her own, of course!

Tune in to see how Kate connects this wonderfully worldly collection into a finished piece, and then take your Connections kit in a direction that is completely your own.

Please Note: Stringing Materials and needles are not included and are sold separately.

Think about using CLon, Waxed Linen, or Chinese Knotting Cord.

This collection is limited in quantity and sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Unfortunately, adding them to your cart does not reserve them; it is not yours until the order is completed.
