Bella Beads 

Saturday August 11th 2pm to 6pm

In this workshop, students will work with silver wire, glass and lucite beads and baubles, ribbons and beading wire to create wild earrings. Stephanie will demonstrate wire-working basics for beginners and a few more advanced techniques for experienced beaders too.  She’ll show you how to engineer earrings like the samples and also give you the vision and confidence to be able to create your own designs. Students will combine the ideas and materials in their own way, with their own fingers and will leave with several pairs of earrings and inspiration to make a zillion more!

Workshop fee: $60.00   registration required  class size is limited

Spiny Knotted Bracelet    

In the workshop, we’ll use floss and waxed linen to bind beads and other treasures into a bracelet.  The materials and methods provide an opportunity for self-expression—there is no pattern to follow, the beads can vary in size, color and shape.  Each student in the class creates a bracelet different from the others’.  The unusual materials and larger bead sizes (a nice change from the intricate “seed bead” work) seem to level the playing field for beginners and long-time beaders. Most students will complete the bracelet in class.
