May Wire Wrapping Class: Cabochon

Sunday, May 7, 1PM: Wire-wrapping, Cabochon

Wire-Wrapped Cabochons

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!

And we still have room for a few more students. This is a great class for beginners; Daniel gives a great introduction to wire and tools, and individualized instruction in the design of your pendant.

Updated Specialty Class Schedule

On Saturday, October 16 @ 10:30 AM we will be offering this chainmaille bracelet class:

This is a fun, and fairly easy bracelet, and looks great in multicolor, but you can also decide to just use a few colors with the silver - like shades of blue, or the school colors of your choice, or just copper with the silver. We have the multicolored bracelet shown above on display in the shop, as well as one in just red and black. Both of these are made with enamelled copper wire. We also have one on display made in various blues, with sterling silver rings instead of enamelled copper rings.

The fee for this class is $35 plus materials; for bracelets made with all enamelled copper rings, the bracelet kit will cost $18.50. If you should prefer to make you bracelet with sterling silver, the fee will vary according to bracelet length, as the sterling is priced by weight. We will have all this information available at the shop when you register.

A $25 non-refundable deposit will be required upon registration ($45 non-refundable deposit if you choose sterling silver rings). At the time of registration, students will need to specify what colors they wish to work with during the class. Registration for this class will end at 6PM on Wednesday, October 13, so that I will have ample time to get everyone's jump rings cut and tumbled prior to class Saturday morning!

On Sunday, November 14 @ 1 PM Daniel will be returning to teach his wire-wrapped pendant class. This is a great class for beginners, or for those wishing to further advance their wire-wrapping techniques. The class project is a wrapped cabochon, and the fee is $35 plus supplies. A $15 non-refundable deposit will be required for registration.
