This is the site that goes with Bead Bench, the pattern app for eleven bead crafts — from loom and peyote through kumihimo, bead crochet and fuse beads. The app draws every chart the way that craft is really worked: peyote on offset columns, brick on offset rows, bead crochet as a half-bead spiral. The site's job is everything around that: video worth watching, tools that run in the browser, charts you can print today without buying anything, and guides that don't waste your evening.
The app is free with a one-time Pro purchase; this site is free with no purchase and no ads, on purpose. Charts here are yours to print, bead, sell and teach from. If you want to support the whole thing, the honest ways are: tell a beading friend, post a chart on your pegboard, or join the app's waitlist for when testing opens wider.
Short list, doable: a chart for every craft still missing one here, guides for brick stitch, right-angle weave, rivoli bezels and bead cross-stitch, and a seasonal set of holiday ornaments charts when the weather turns. Updates land on this news page.
String something this week. — the bench crew
