What To Bring

Each class kit comes with all the materials and illustrated instructions. You will need to bring your own tools. We also suggest you bring a task lamp, your beading glasses, and a fuzzy mat to work on.

The class description tells you what skills and tools you will need to bring. Each kit has complete materials and illustrated instructions. You will need to bring your own tools and a fuzzy mat to work on. A task lamp and beading glasses are often very helpful. In some classes, the teacher will have specialty tools that you can use while you are in class. We want all students to be successful, so come prepared with the “right stuff“.

Private Classes

If you love a certain class, but the timing isn't right, you can sponsor a private class for three or more people at the store.

If you love a certain class, but don't have the right skills yet, we would be happy to schedule private instruction for one to three people for an hourly fee of $30 for the group. This allows you to go at your own pace while getting the individual attention you need. Please contact the kit designer for details.

How Do I Know Which Class is Right for Me?

BEGINNER - Getting Started: Great for the newest beaders! We will get you started by introducing you to the right tools and the basic techniques to start beading. The basics of stringing, wrapped loops, stitching, chain maille, and polymer clay techniques explained and demonstrated in these classes. These classes are appropriate for students at different skill levels or ages in one class, because the teacher will always cover the basics.

INTERMEDIATE: Do you want to learn how to combine the basics to make something “more”? We will review the basics, then show you how to put them together in different ways. In these classes, the teacher may quickly review a basic technique, then add another level of complexity or combine it with a totally different technique to give it a twist. You don't need to be an expert in the techniques, but this should not be the first time you have done it either. These classes are designed to expand and combine the skills you already have.

ADVANCED: These classes are for the student who LOVES to experiment. You will learn to bend the basics to your will and stretch your mind around something different, putting a twist on the techniques you already know. These are advanced to master's level classes, and may be a full day or multiple sessions. Come prepared with the “right stuff” by checking the class descriptions carefully.

THE BUSINESS OF BEADS:
Get your artistry out there in the world. Learn about combining colors, writing tutorials, pricing your jewelry, setting up for a show, building a brand. These are the nuts-and-bolts we had to learn, so now we can share them with you. Tell us what you need!
