About the Author
Scott Sutton has had a life-long passion for Native beadwork. He beaded his first loom piece when he was six years old. Through the Boy Scouts of America and the California Indian Hobbyist Association, he met great teachers who instructed him in beading. Attending powwows (singing and dancing) and going to museums brought inspiration. Scott is gifted with the ability to look at a piece of craft work and then recreate it as will as being able to design without having to draw things out. His moccasins have graced the feet of many dancers at powwows across the country.

I sell beads and beading books at my store...Blue Hawk Beads in Pendleton, OR.
This is one of less than five books I would keep myself or recommend highly. The photos are excellent. The color pictures are great. Best of all, the instructions and photos of how to "do it" are spot on.
A+
Good book.

A fine survey packed with a range of beadwork styles, from stitching and loom work to applique

Beadwork Techniques of the Native Americans is a 'must' for any jewelry-making, beadwork or Native American crafts library. It explains tricks the author's learned from his extensive experience as a bead worker, includes techniques not to be found in competing beadwork titles, and offers step-by-step color photos tying the information together. The result is a fine survey packed with a range of beadwork styles, from stitching and loom work to applique.
