Beadwork Making Class #1

Beadwork is the art of threading tiny beads together incorporating crystals, pearls and other gemstones or beads using beading thread and needle.  I'll be teaching a beginners' beadwork class on Sunday July 25th 1.30pm-4.30pm.  I've already got 4 participants and can take two more!  We will start with ear-rings. Teaching fees will be S$10 per hour,  minimum 2 hours.  All the materials you need will be provided in the kit.  Here's what we'll be making:

Flower ear-rings in any colour your choose!  Swarovski pearls and Japanese glass seed beads. You can add beads to make it longer if you like.  Kit will cost S$12 with rhodium ear hooks and S$14 with gold-filled ear hooks.

Hematite squares (only dark gray) in any bead colours you choose!  Swarovski crystals and Japanese glass seed beads. Kit will cost $12 for rhodium ear hooks and S$14 for gold-filled.

Another pair of flower ear-rings.  Any colour you choose!  Swarovski pearls, Swarovski crystals and Japanese glass seed beads.You can add beads to make it longer.  Kit will cost S$15 for rhodium ear-hooks and S$17 for gold-filled.

This is more complicated if you are up for a challenge!  Swarovski crystals, Swarovski pearl (inside the crystals) and Japanese glass seed beads. You can add beads to lengthen it.  Also available in any colour you choose.  Kit will cost S$25 for rhodium ear hooks and S$27 for gold-filled.

For the beadwork classes, you need to be able to use a thread and needle confidently.  This can be really addictive so be prepared... you may want to make more than one pair of ear-rings!  I know, because I made 30 at one go!!
