Crafty Classes Spectacular

Where you ask?!?!

THE BEAD FETISH!!!

The first week in December is going to be quite a busy one for Sophia of Simply Strands. She will be teaching 3 back to back classes at The Bead Fetish.

December 2nd from 6-9 will be Pendant Pizzazz. Students will learn to wrap pendants in wire...this is a great class even for beginners.

December 3rd from 6-9 will be Curly Coils. Students will get an introduction to making beads from wire and will probably even leave with their very own curly coiled bracelet!

December 4th from 6-9 pm will be Woven Waltz. This class integrated some chain mailing techniques into a gorgeous bracelet!

Check out The Bead Fetishes website for more detailed descriptions and pictures of each class! Hope to see you there! (Pictures are not from a Bead Fetish class...but they are meant to give an approximate idea and get you excited!)
