In this fun and informative beading class you will learn several different techniques for making beaded beads. It is amazing to think about all the variations of beads that you can make from basic seed beads. From the very simple to the slightly intricate, we will cover at least four or five different styles. Spend the day making as many of your favorites as you can and then bring them all together in your choice of format.
Students will have their choice of stringing their handmade beads with other beads to make a long, funky necklace; or using a pre-made, black silk organza choker or cuff bracelet. All will look fabulous!
