DESIGN and more...


 
One class per Month
Instructor:  Millie

Jewelry making is simple, the mechanics are basic!
Jewelry design can be challenging, let me assist you and share with you what I have learned over the years.  This class allows you to bring in your "working projects", inherited jewelry or beads you have found along the way.  We will assist you with mechanics and design.  Each individual project will require a variety of techniques and everyone will benefit from each and every project.  This is a "one on one" class and I will work with each student individually as well as discussion on general design rules.  This class is for the not just for beginners, this class will help the experienced beader who needs questions answered. 
It's not what you spend, its what you do with it!



KNOTTING




Learn knotting an ancient Asian art form.  In  this class you will complete a bracelet using the bead of your choice (not included).  You will learn traditional knotting, you can then use it in non-traditional projects, such as "Tin Cup Pearls" and in many other creative ways.



BEADED PENDANT


Using a mother of pearl center and surrounding it with Czech glass and seed beads you will create this stunning pendant.  The stitch that you will learn will allow you to expand your beading abilities.  Use it to create such works of art including incredible turquoise and seed bead necklaces.



FLOWER POWER


Loves me, Loves me not?
Using top drilled or center drilled beads, you can add that feminine touch to your creations. Using crystals and gem stones, you can enhance a simple strand of beads with a floral accent. Fabulous for weddings! 
Flower Power!
