Welcome to Catriona Starpins Studio – where bead embroidery comes to life!

Whether you’re just picking up your first needle or you’ve been stitching for years, this channel is your creative companion for learning, exploring, and mastering the art of bead embroidery.

Each week, I share tutorials that break down popular techniques like peyote stitch, back stitch, brick stitch, herringbone spirals, and more—always with clear instructions, thoughtful tips, and a focus on beautiful design. You’ll also find project-based videos, inspiration for using cabochons, metal shapes, and specialty beads, and occasional behind-the-scenes peeks at how I plan and teach in-person workshops.

If you love turning tiny beads into wearable works of art, you’re in the right place. Subscribe to join me on this sparkly journey, and let’s bead something beautiful together!
