If the last jewelry project you made called for macaroni (mmm... macaroni), your crafting skills may be a little rusty. Not to worry, assembling your own beautiful jewelry is easier than ever today, as long as you have the tools and know-how to put together long-lasting and professional-looking pieces. Our beading and wire wrapping classes give you the ABCs in all non-pasta-related areas with just a two-hour jewelry class.  It’s OK if you’re low on supplies: most tools are provided and if you have no beads to bring from home, you can buy some at the store prior to the class.  

Interested in a beading party? Let us know! We'd love to be there!

What class should you start with?

Well, it depends on what you want to learn.  

Are you just starting and want to learn the basics?

If you want to make necklaces and earrings, start with the Foundations Introduction to Beading class.  

In our Earring Party classes, you'll learn how to make multiple pairs of fancy and fun earrings.

Do you already know how to make basic necklaces and earrings and want to grow your skills more?  Our Peace by Piece necklace class works on combining multiple techniques to make one beautiful necklace.  

If you're interested in learning to pearl knot, check out our Tying the Knot class.

Do you want to get started with wire working?  
If you're not really sure what type of wire wrapping you'd like to do, we recommend starting with the Wire Workshop: wire for beginners.  We also offer the Caps and Coils, if you've done a bit of wire wrapping before. Many of the techniques you'll learn in this class will translate to dozens of other projects and classes.

Do you want to create wire pendants?  
The Caged Stone Pendant class and the Twisted Treasures classes are good places to start. The Caged Stone Pendant is great for manufactured cabochons, stones that are fairly flat and symmetrical.  The Twisted Treasures class is specifically for found objects or crystal points, you'll create a wire net to hold your treasure.

Are you interested in Metal Stamping?
Take the Metal Stamping class.  We also have a Metal Stamping - Play open studio for people who already know how to metal stamp but don't want to make the large investment in all of their supplies yet.

We also offer several other project specific classes that are all beginner level.  In these classes you'll learn one specific project (such as a wire wrapped tree, how to create leather wrapped bracelets, or how to make pendants from glass tiles).  

Are you still not sure?  Stop on in the store or give us a call at 303-861-6823 and we'll be happy to talk to you more about what would be the best fit for you.
