"Handmade Holiday" Jewelry Class - Wednesday, December 9, 6:00-8:30pm

Instead of buying gifts for everyone on your list, learn to make your own jewelry. Or make jewelry to match that special holiday outfit.

We'll be making bracelets and/or necklaces using basic stringing and finishing techniques. If time permits we'll make matching earrings.

Supplies: beads in assorted colors/sizes; beading wire (i.e. Beadalon); crimp beads or tubes (recommended); clasp; earwires (optional); a bead mat is also recommended

Cost: $20 + supplies

Please be prompt so that we can get as much work done in class as possible. Supplies may be purchased in advance or the day of class. If purchasing supplies the day of class please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early. The instructor will be available to go through the beading aisles in the store to help pick out supplies. Tools and bead boards are provided for use during class but feel free to bring your own. Students must be able to perform close detail work – don’t forget your glasses and/or magnifying glass!
