Beading Classes

We have finally put together our new class list, if you don’t see what interests you give us a call and we are always happy to add to the list. Our intention is to make our classes fun and stress free. Come with some friends and learn how to make it yourself.

Our classes are small with no student minimum and lots of hands on instruction. Just give us a call and we can arrange a group or private class at your convenience. To make things less stressful we are letting you pick the time of your class. Private lessons are the same cost as group lessons.
