I'll be teaching new classes at Stars

Friday, October 29, 10-4pm, Dandelion and Daggers

No experience needed for this fun and easy class.  Gather all your daggers, flowers, leaves and other top-drilled beads and learn how to make this awesome macramé bracelet.

 
Friday, November 19, 10-4pm, Steampunk Style

Learn to etch, rivet, shape, texture, patinate, torch and cut out metal while making a linked bracelet or watch band.  Students will work with copper and brass sheet metal and wire which they will cut, shape and etch and then embellish with watch parts and other "steampunk" elements. 

I will have old keys, watch parts and stamps available and hopefully some goodies which I have gleaned from the flea markets in Paris and Provence which my husband and I will be visiting on Sept. 24-Oct 9 (to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary!).

Registration begins Monday, September 13, 10am.  Contact Stars Beads, (703) 938-7018.  Hope to see you there!
