We LOVE To Teach!
Teaching gives us an opportunity to
share our passion about being creativite.
The creative process is exciting,
and the outcome is rewarding.
Anyone can be creative
with just a few "tools."
We are here to inspire you
and give you those tools:
professional beading techniques,
a relaxed environment,
and concepts about color & design.
In addition to scheduled classes,
classes can be arranged by request
for indiviuals or groups.
We have taught large & small groups...
for Girl Scouts to earn badges,
and for families to do activities together.
Classes for groups can be done for
team building, parties & for social time.
Instruction for groups
can be done on, or off site!

Learn Silversmithing!
Always wanted to make silver jewelry, but didn’t know where to start?
Want to up your game but are afraid of the torch?
These 2 classes with artist Jeff Fulkerson are for you! These classes will
take the mystery out of silver smithing and get you started making sterling
silver jewelry.
Friday's Pendant class (September 27th) is for beginners. In Jeff's 7 hour all-day class, you will learn all about silver soldering. We will discuss flux, pickle, solders, torches and the 5 Points of soldering. In this “technique” class, you will solder a butt joint and a ‘T’ joint. Learn how to pick a cabochon and how to set it, as well as some texturing and finishing techniques. This class will remove the mystery of silver soldering and allow you to broaden your jewelry making skills. The price of $170 covers the silver and use of all tools and equipment, plus the instruction. Cabochons are available for purchase at a discounted price.
On Saturday, September 28th, Jeff will teach you how to make a sterling silver ring. You can choose a cabochon, then learn how to set it in the silver. This also an all day class of 7 hours, and you will get to take home your completed project. The price of this class is $185 and covers the silver and use of all tools and equipment, plus the instruction. Cabochons are available for purchase at a discounted price.

Open Beading!
“Bead Therapy” is scheduled twice monthly on the 2nd & 4th Thursday evening, 4-8pm.
It is an opportunity to socialize and hang out with other creative souls, and
to learn and share with others.
We do not offer formal instruction during bead therapy but
we do offer a 10% discount on purchases.
Bring your tools of creativity (even if it isn't beads) and

Additionally, when the classroom table is not in use during regular hours,
