“Bonsai Tree/Tree of Life Pendant”! - A Wire Jewelry Creation with Kelley Pounds $45
“Celebrate spring and summer by creating your own Bonsai Tree/Tree of Life Pendant. Using copper wire and a variety of chip beads, you will create your own one-of-a kind pendant. And just like real trees, it is guaranteed no two tree pendants will be exactly alike! Beads to Beauty will provide a variety of colored chip beads, and Kelley Pounds will provide the wire and step-by-step instructions, complete with pictures, in a handout you can take home for later use so you can create more pendants.”



“Cages and Cabochons” - with Kelley Pounds $45
“When you think of wire-wrap jewelry, chances are you envision wire cages and cabochons. In this lesson you will begin with the cage wrap of a freeform polished stone and progress to the more complicated wrapping of an oval cabochon. In the process you will also learn how to give these traditional wire wrapping techniques your own unique twist using bead embellishments. Materials include square practice wire, two freeform polished stones, and a 30 X 40 cabochon.”



“Three Ring Circus” - with Kelley Pounds $45
In this introductory class on wire ring making, learn how to construct three different types of rings: the hammer scroll ring (adjustable and non-adjustable types); the simple and classic Etruscan swirl ring; and the ever-popular one-bead ring, along with tips to make your own unique variations. Kelley will provide examples of rings that incorporate variations on these three techniques so that your eyes will be opened to the mystery of even more complicated wire ring construction. Wire and beads will be provided in this class.



“Kaleidoscope Cane Beads” - with Kelley Pounds $45
Polymer clay kaleidoscope beads are some of the prettiest of polymer clay beads, with complex designs that at first glance seem far too complicated for the beginner. But in this class the process will be de-mystified! You will learn how to create the simplest of polymer clay canes so that you can turn your humble polymer clay beads into mirror design masterpieces.
