(From Left to Right, designs are by: Dale "Cougar" Armstrong; Mitzi McCartha; Karen Flowers) Class Schedule: Beginning Jewelry Classes Return to Stardust Designs Bead Shoppe! Many people ask about the basics because there are new beaders everyday. Amanda McCormack has kindly agreed to start offering classes at the shoppe. First class is April 24, Saturday at 12:00 p.m. Cost: $30. Materials will be provided for the projects. To schedule your time with her (we can only handle 5 for quality classes), please contact her at: 945-6778.
DVD--Beginning Jewelry Techniques--Always Available!! This DVD is shot with 2 cameras and thus it looks like you are looking over the instructor's shoulder. Everything shows up even better on the TV screen. You will learn the following: Crimping ends for necklaces and bracelets; Making simple loops to attach earrings; Making a wrapped coil for pendants and to make jewelry more secure; Knotting pearls without tools--can also use this technique for glass and gemstones as well! A great value for $19.95 CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE!
If you want a more hands-on approach to learning beginning jewelry techniques, take a class from Chris Hicks at the Joann's in Cool Springs. Chris has been creating jewelry for years, and she's an excellent teacher!
