October Jewelry Class 2Item Link
Halloween is creeping up on us!! Last year we did a wire spider - this year we’re doing a skeleton!
We’ll be reviewing how to make wire loops: a simple loop and a wrapped loop. Both these will be used to make our handsome skeleton.
Bring your tools if you have them. You’ll have a choice of silver or copper colored wire. The skeleton can be used as a necklace, rearview mirror decoration, tiny window decor, etc.
Class: Wednesday 10/22/25 2pm to 4pm.
Remember to text your intention of attending. I make kits of the wire pieces we will be using and need to make sure I have enough.
Hope to see you there!

October Jewelry Class 1Item Link
Get ready for a fun class this week! We’re going to make beaded keychains.
These beaded keychains are super fun to make! We’ll be using a large focal bead (either stone or polymer clay) and accenting with small beads and metal components.
We won’t need our jewelry tools but your close-working glasses are a necessity. 😁 Scissors would be appreciated. Bring a tumbled, drilled stone if you’d like but I have lots.
Class: Wednesday October 8th at 2-4pm
