Beads, Silver and Jewelry, Oh My!
with Jelcy Romberg
Join us to learn the basic techniques of beaded jewelry making and working with wire. In our first class, we’ll learn basic stringing, how to plan out a necklace, and then how to create it. You’ll be able to take home your necklace (perhaps a perfect Valentine’s gift?) at the end of the evening. In our second class, we’ll work with small beads and make a fun yet simple bracelet. In our third session, we’ll branch out and use our imaginations to make timeless and fun-to-wear beaded wire cuff bracelets that can be designed for men or women. For our final session, we’ll work with silver wire that has been made into jump rings to create a chain bracelet perfect for charms!
