Deb Fairchild | I specialize in off-loom weaving and design. | deb fairchild designs

Deb Fairchild is known throughout the NH beading 
community as a small bead artist and teacher.  She 
is well-versed in off-loom and loom weaving 
techniques as well as related media such as chain 
maille and polymer clay.

Although she works with many off-loom beadweaving 
techniques, Deb especially likes the lacy, supple 
fabrics which are derived from the freeform 
expression of right-angle weave, bead netting and 
brick stitch.  The freeform platform also provides 
a strong foundation for experiments in the use of 
color and adaptations of technique which have 
become the hallmark of her work.  Each piece is a 
one-of-a-kind study in color, rhythm, movement, 
and form.  

Deb is also committed to helping others develop a 
strong understanding of beadweaving technique and 
design.  Deb teaches at Bead Bush Studio in 
Deerfield, NH (www.beadbush.com) and at La Mia 
Fleicita in Plaistow, New Hampshire 
(www.miafelicita.com).  Deb also teaches at the 
Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, MA  
(http://www.fullercraft.org/workshops.htm#Mixed.

Over the past two years, she has developed an 
extensive curriculum that encourages new and 
experienced beaders to probe their creativity and 
develop their own artistic expression.  Deb is 
also a co-author of the Master Beader Program©, 
which provides a mentored development environment 
for beaders at all skill levels, beginner through 
advanced.

Deb is a juried member of the League of New 
Hampshire Craftsmen and currently has a piece on 
exhibit at the Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, 
MA.
