May Wire Wrapping Class: Cabochon
Sunday, May 7, 1PM: Wire-wrapping, Cabochon
Ever wondered what to do with those flat-backed "beads" with no holes? This is a good beginner-level wire class, with a lot of instruction about wire types and basic wire-wrapping skills, plus you'll leave class with a beautiful pendant!
Class fee: $45 plus supplies; $25 deposit required for registration. Registration closes at 12 Noon on Friday, May 5.
Just a reminder about our wire classes: Daniel travels a long way to teach these classes, so a minimum of 2 students must register for any class in order to justify Daniel's travel time and expenses. In the event that we fail to have enough students register for a particular class, any registration fees collected for that class will be refunded in full.
Also, Daniel offers private classes here at YaYa Beads for those who want a little more individual attention and don't want to worry about whether enough students will sign up for our group classes. These private classes cost $90 (supplies are extra), and must be paid IN FULL at the time of registration. The student determines which projects will be taught. Depending of the projects chosen, Daniel covers anywhere from 2 to 4 projects in this class (the student will leave the session with a finished project for each lesson). The number of projects varies because some pieces are quicker than others, so more projects can be mastered during class time. Private classes are offered on Sundays (sometimes on Saturdays, depending on Daniel's availability), usually from 10AM to 5PM.
We appreciate your business, and hope to see you soon!

April Cold Connections/Metalsmithing Workshop
Our Metalsmithing Workshop is Back!
Saturday, April 18 - Sunday, April 19: METALSMITHING (COLD CONNECTIONS)
This is a terrific, intense 2-day workshop (9AM - 6PM both days) jam-packed with basic Cold Connections techniques, including cutting, sawing, annealing, etching, texturing, patination, and so much more. Students usually create anywhere from 6 to 12 pieces, depending on the size and complexity of the designs they choose. This is a very flexible class - no kits! Everyone makes whatever they choose, with lots of guidance, helpful tips, and hands-on instruction from the workshop leader. The fee for this 2 day workshop is $155 (nonrefundable registration deposit: $65), and includes handout materials, all supplies needed to learn the techniques and to make your pieces, as well as use of tools, etc. The only additional fees would be if you choose to use beads, crystals, etc from the shop as embellishment, or if you want bails, chain, earwires, or other materials to finish off your designs. If you have tools you wish to bring, or interesting found objects - feel free!
More information about this workshop can be found here. Please refer to this link for important materials and safety information for workshop participants!
The fee for this optional 3rd day is $75 ($35 non-refundable deposit required for registration). Class fee includes use of all tools, chemicals, enamels, etc - but does NOT include sheet metal or wire. These materials are available for purchase for students who don't have them, or you may bring your own (in the past, students have had plenty of copper left over from the preceding 2-day metal workshop).
Here are some pictures of projects created with Cold Connections techniques (more pictures can be found on YaYaBeads.com:
Space in this class is limited, due to the extensive classroom space needed for set-up of all the chemicals, tools, torches, etc.
Call the shop to register, OR come by and see examples of all these wonderful projects!
Hope to see you soon!

More information about this workshop can be found here. Please refer to this link for important materials and safety information for workshop participants!
For any interested students, we will be offering an optional 3rd day of Metalwork instruction on Monday, April 20. This class is designated as an "independent design day," where students can bring together the techniques they learned the previous 2 days to design and fabricate a piece of their choosing, with help from the workshop leader as needed. (Many samples and pictures are available for inspiration.) More advanced techniques such as fold-forming can be explored, OR interested students can try their hand at kiln enameling. Students can also dig deeper into any previously-learned techniques according to their own lines of interest. This is a terrific opportunity to integrate your brand new metal fabrication skills!
Students with solid prior Cold Connections experience are welcome to register for the Monday Independent
Design Workshop without enrolling in
the Sat/Sun 2-day Workshop, but should be aware that this is NOT a refresher
course, and no instruction in technique will be available on that day. The workshop leader will be available to provide guidance/consultation about design & fabrication ideas only, except where more advanced techniques (such as fold-forming or enameling) are explored, as discussed in the previous paragraph. The usual cold-connections stations (annealing, etching, pickling, etc) and tools
will be available, so it's a great opportunity to put some
pieces together without the bother of setting it up and cleaning it up
at home! Students with solid prior Cold Connections experience are welcome to register for the Monday Independent
