SPRING/SUMMER 2025 CLASSES
Jewelry Lab
This class is designed to teach the basics of bead stringing. It is a fun and easy class. We will begin with elastic bracelets, then progress to earrings, pendants and necklaces. Along the way, we will learn how to use tools and findings, including jump rings, stringing materials, crimps and clasps. Bring any old jewelry that needs to be fixed, altered or redesigned and we will refresh it, so it is wearable again.

Three-Dimensional Beaded Star
We will explore the Contemporary Geometric Beadwork discipline by learning to make one of the basic shapes – a warped square. It is a versatile piece that can be combined into jewelry and sculptures in many ways. We will focus on the star shape. It is made from Japanese Miyuki glass seed beads using an off-loom needle and thread technique. It is a great place to start learning to create shapes out of seed beads.
