Beaded Jewelry

In this class students will learn to design and create beaded pieces of jewelry without the use of a torch. Using pliers to shape wire, we will make earrings, chains, and other wearable forms incorporating beads. This is a simple, secure way to add color and detail to a pair of earrings or a piece of chain without needing a flame. This technique can be used safely at home and allows students to create jewelry from scratch, or revamp old jewelry!
