Hot Classes and New Trunk Show Items!!

As the temperatures rise later this week, prepare for some HOT Classes, too!  Not to worry, though.  The A/C is on here at the shop so you’ll be cool and comfortable during those sizzling classes! 

Starting this Thursday, June 21^st, from 6-8 P.M. we have the GARDEN CHOKER by bead artist Deborah Roberti.  As fresh as a summer breeze and as pretty as a picture, just seeing this gorgeous choker makes you think of sunshine and flowers. This fabulous piece by Deborah Roberti is as fun to make as it is to wear. Pearls and crystals in a triangular weave extend from a right-angle weave chain. This one fits closer to the throat but you can make it any length you desire. A stunning piece for wedding or prom wear, or just because it makes you feel good!  It’s a perfect complement to the FLOWER GARLAND BRACELET Odin taught earlier this month.  Your choice of colors will make it uniquely yours. Skill Level: Beginner/Novice (some hand weaving experience recommended), (If you’ve done Chevron Channels and/or Jewel of India, you’ll easily complete this piece).  Tuition $25.00.

On Saturday June 23^rd, there are only one or two seats left for RUSSIAN LEAVES with Marie Jacques. What fun these fabulous leaves are to create and fashion into unique pieces. Arrange several as a focal on a necklace, dangle them for earrings, or make many and layer them for a full leafy necklace. These are fun to make and work up quickly. Use different sizes of seed beads to make an entirely different look. This is also a great exercise in shaped peyote stitch. Next step? Bead sculpture, perhaps? Skill Level: Novice (experience in basic flat peyote stitch is recommended).  Tuition $25.00.

Don’t wait to register for BAREFOOT BEAUTY, next Thursday June 27^th.  Summer is the time for bare skin and bling. Why should your feet feel deprived. A bit of wire, a smattering of fire polished crystals and you'll have the prettiest feet on the beach (or padding around the pool). Free your spirit as you free your feet in these awesome "sole less sandals". You'll also be a master at wrapped loops by the time you are through. Skill level: Novice (some basic experience in wrapped loops recommended).  Tuition: $25

For the first time since we started offering this class, there are a couple of seats left for the NETTED ROPE BRACELET  on Saturday, June 30^th.  It will not be offered next quarter.  So, if you’ve wanted to learn the technique, call and reserve your seat today!  See more details on line at: http://www.beadsonthekennebec.com/classes.html
