In this workshop, you will create a unique bracelet using your innate creative skills and design aesthetic with exceptionally beautiful, authentic African beads. As you create your bracelet you will learn the history behind these beads, so not only will you take home your finished piece of jewelry, but you will also know where each bead originated, how it was made, and some background about the bead makers themselves.
Judy Levine is a highly-regarded bead artist who is skilled at teaching the techniques of beading. She is adept at sharing her years of design skills, and instilling confidence and creative freedom in her students — you will have fun and enjoy the company of your fellow students as you all create your unique piece of beautiful jewelry.
This workshop is excellent for most age groups including young teens and adults.
* Note that parents must accompany minors who wish to take this class.
* ALL SUPPLIES ARE INCLUDED There will be many colors, types, and sizes of beads for you to design with. We have an outstanding collection of authentic African beads donated for this workshop by GHANAECOTOURS.COM
