“Bead and Wire Magic” $45
Transform simple wire and beads into unique jewelry creations! In this class you will learn to fashion your own pierced ear wires, headpins for earrings, a link bracelet or necklace, and your own hook and eye clasp. The skills you learn today will serve as the building blocks for future lessons and more complex and inventive jewelry creations. Beads to Beauty will provide some beads, and Kelley will provide the wire and step-by-step instructions, complete with pictures, in a handout you can take home for later use.

“Lucky Charms: Celtic Knot Earrings and Pendant” $45
Celebrate Spring this year by learning the tricks and treats of creating your own lucky charms—Celtic knot earrings and pendants using wire and beads. In this class you will learn how to create a variation of the decorative “Carrick bend” knot. This strong knot was used by sailors, but it can also be found as a design motif at Ormonde Castle in Ireland. First you will practice making your knot with dyed hemp cord, then you will translate what you learn to copper wire and beads in order to make a pair of earrings or a pendant. Cord, wire and beads will be provided.

“Art Nouveau Copper Beaded Bangle” $45
The Art Nouveau style exemplifies flowing, curving lines and patterns characterized by floral and plant-inspired motifs. This simple but elegant copper wire bangle bracelet features copper wire patterned with oak leaves and acorns framed by scallops of copper wire embellished with beads. The techniques taught in this class are easily adaptable to other wire projects. This class includes all supplies needed to complete one bracelet that would have a retail value of at least $30. You will receive a fully illustrated step-by-step tutorial and enough extra wire to complete a second bracelet at home.
