NANCY McSHANE
Seed Bead Weaving Artist

Nancy has been stitching, knitting and doing creative art since childhood. Her art took a wild turn twenty years ago when she discovered stitching with seed beads. Within a few years, jewelry making dominated most of her free time.

Nancy is always trying out new projects. She has the ability to see a design from the inside out and frequently devises an easier way than the directions provide to complete a project. She is completely enamored with seed beads and is never afraid to tackle new techniques taking design and beading to a higher level. She loves using various sizes, shapes, colors, and kinds of beads as well as little embellishments to add depth to projects.

Nancy, a regular instructor at the bead chick with many years’ teaching experience, delights in helping students find self-expression believing that beading has a unique way of captivating the imagination and inspiring the artist within. Her patient teaching style is very relaxed, and she gently challenges her students to stretch and work outside their beading comfort zone.

Nancy is thankful that beading has been a creative outlet, a way to make new friends, and to stimulate her mind. She loves sharing all she has learned through teaching. Her goal as a teacher is to create a fun and successful learning experience.

 

Nancy McShane teaches several classes at the bead chick each month and welcomes both beginners and beaders with experience.

"It is so much fun to see what color combinations my students come up with. I enjoy working with all students - from those who have never beaded previously to those who are already quite experienced." said Nancy. "Yes, I am a Beadaholic! Join me for your next bead fix!"
