Jewelry Classes

For the past 3 and a half years I have been teaching various classes at my local community center in Monrovia.  I have really been enjoying teaching beginners jewelry because once you have the basics, you can create just about anything.  I have a small assortment of handouts but there are just so many ideas and free tutorial out there in cyber space that I thought I would try to put all my favorites in one spot so that my students can easily find the links that will get them to the sites with all the wonderful information.

Jewelry Class

I have been teaching jewelry making classes at my local community center for the past three years.  It has been a lot of fun and my students are so fun, I can hear them chatting with each other as I come down the hall to my class. What a great way to start my evening after a day at the office!  I am determined to take pictures of their jewelry designs, they are so creative.  I have made me a list of items to remember to bring to our last class next week and my camera is at the top of the list.  So the reason for this post without pictures at the moment is that I am determined to take pictures next week and post them.  To be continued....

Monrovia Classes -

Spring classes at my local community center will be starting soon.  Hooray!!  April 4th is the first class, Beginner Jewelry, which will run for 4 weeks followed by 4 weeks of Intermediate Jewelry classes for those who would like to continue once they have the basics.  You don't have to worry about having your supplies for the first class because we'll go over the tools, materials, and some suggested projects.

Due to many requests I will be teaching a one-day Mixed Media class on Saturday, April 20th.  It will run from 10am - 3pm, with an hour lunch break.  I hope to have some samples on my blog shortly, but if you're interested, here is the link to the brochure with all the information.  City of Monrovia Spring Brochure link

I have really enjoyed meeting and teaching so many nice members of my community.  I hope you'll sign up, it's a nice way to learn something new and make new friendships.

Crocheted Jewelry and Matching Earrings

I love making Christmas gifts and birthday gifts for my friends as well as sharing easy projects with my crafty friends who appreciate the art of the handmade gift.  This was as easy as making a macaroni necklace as a child however, it is so much more glamorous.  Enjoy.  (I used a #4 crochet hook.) 

And of course some hand made wire-wrapped earrings to match!
