What You’ll Do

One of the only ways to know your jewelry is truly one of a kind is to make it yourself. During the hands-on lesson, you’ll learn the basics of making beaded jewelry and practice using pliers to manipulate loops and crimp beads. With guidance from instructor Katie Netti, you’ll make a single- or multi-strand bracelet with materials of your choice, which can include a lobster or toggle clasp and a variety of stone, glass, wood, and metal beads.

• Design Your Own Bracelet
  Organize and plan out your bracelet using a flocked bead board.

• Use the Tools of the Trade
  Learn how to use pliers to create loops, jump rings, and crimp beads.

• Choose Your Materials
  Work with a variety of unique findings and a vast selection of beads made of jasper, wood, glass, and other materials.
