MORNING SESSIONS:

CHAIN MAILLE JEWELRY

Learn to turn jump rings into a variety of beautifully textured chains. In this three-hour hands-on workshop, Margaret Crow will teach you the Byzantine, Foxtail, and Full- and Half-Persian chain patterns. She will also show you how to incorporate beads to make your chain maille jewelry designs more colorful - and uniquely your own.

Class Fee: $30.00
Materials Fee: $10.00
Class Limit: 8
Duration: 3 hours

INTERACTIVE JEWELRY DESIGN I

In this lively interactive workshop, Jennifer Norris will share her highly effective approaches to choosing colors, shapes and structures when
designing jewelry to go with a special item of clothing. Each participant should bring a garment or fabric swatch to use as a starting point for
discussion. Jennifer will bring a varied assortment of beads to facilitate a faux shopping and decision-making spree. No purchases are required since no actual jewelry will be made in this morning's session. However, beads and
other supplies will be available for purchase.

Class Fee: $30.00
Materials Fee: none
Class Limit: 8
Duration: 3 hours

AFTERNOON SESSIONS

INTERACTIVE JEWELRY DESIGN 2:
From Design to Reality

If you took Jennifer's "Interactive Jewelry Design" class this morning and wish to actually make the piece you conceptualized, come back after a break
for lunch and let her show you how.

Class Fee: $15.00
Materials Fee: retail price of materials chosen (advance estimate available)
Class Limit: 8
Duration: 3 hours

TWISTED WIRE JEWELRY

Melody MacDuffee's book on this technique won't be out until next spring, but you can learn how to do it now. Craft a one-of-a-kind necklace or pair
of earrings out of Swarovski crystals and sterling silver or 14k gold-fill wire as you master this new and surprisingly easy approach to making
intricate floral-filigree jewelry.

Class Fee: $30.00
Materials Fee: $25.00
Class Limit: 8
Duration: 3 hours
