Spring Class Schedule

In addition to our introductory classes, Basic Beading and Wire Working, we are offering several project-based classes. In project-based classes, you will learn to hone basic techniques you've already learned, but also learn new project-specific techniques to add to your beading skill repertoire. In April, our project class will be making the Mother's Bracelet. Learn how to make a special keepsake that you or your loved one will cherish. The concept of design, bracelet sizing and multi-strand crimping will be covered. The cost for materials ranges from $45-$175 depending on the style and number of strands. There is no instruction fee. In May, the project class is will be working on a Lariat which is a very versatile and fashionable necklace. Basic design concepts will be covered, as well as, the technique of creating a loop and dangle closure. The cost for materials will start around $60 depending on the types of beads chosen and length. There is no instruction fee. Lastly, our ever-popular Jewelry Renovation class will be offered in June. Salvage and re-work dated pieces from your jewelry box. Learn basic beading techniques and design skills while you transform old treasure into stylish accessories. The cost of the class is $20 plus any additional materials you need to add to your renovated design. To sign up in Bedminster, call (908) 901-9800 or in Summit, call (908) 598-9111.
