We have a new seed beading workshop scheduled for Jan. 1st. Well, I say "new" but actually it's a class that Kathleen Lynam taught when she was here for our Anniversary Celebration in August. She has given permission to teach this class, and it is a wonderful bracelet! You'll be suprised how fast it goes, and the best part is it's reversible! So, you can wear one side to match one outfit, and then flip it over to match another outfit!
We also have a guest teacher coming Jan. 15th, Debbie Williams. The morning class is an really cute and easy pair of wire earrings, and in the afternoon is a Wire Wrapped Pendant, which many of you have asked about in the past. Hurry, because the classes are filling up quickly!
Wait! There's more! Then, on Jan. 29th, Debbie Koopman, our resident Chainmaille master, will be teaching her really awesome Beaded Ladder Weave Chainmaille Bracelet! It's an awesome way for you "just stringers" that want to branch out into another area of jewelry making! (and, you still get to use beads!)

IN OTHER NEWS: We have a couple of new products in the store, including a new Beadalon Spiral Maker! I used it, and once you get your wire in, you can make beautiful and fast spirals that are larger than you can make with a pair of pliers! Another handy wire working tool Exclusively from Beadalon! This little Spiral Maker creates perfect spirals out of Artistic Wire size 20Ga. and smaller. Use small pieces of the diameter wire you intend to make the spiral as a washer on the three screws. Tighten wing nuts and insert the same gauge wire into the device. Center the wire in the center hole and insert the twister handle so the wire is inside the slit on the handle. Twist the handle until the desired size of coil is reached (maximum of 16.0mm 5/8”) Tip: count the number of turns to re-create the same size coils for multiple coils, or perfectly matching earring dangles. Wire not included.
Just for winter, until March, we will be closing @ 5pm, except for Wednesdays, which will be the norm, 5:30pm. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
