About Your Host

The Studio and course offerings were designed to serve a range of skills and interests from talented tinkerers to advanced artists. Our goal is to provide solid and safe bench-instruction, combined with hands-on practice, so artists may operate safely, independently and successfully.

INSTRUCTORS:
As Owner and Senior Instructor, Christy Sears brings a wealth of knowledge to the bench. With 15+ years of jewelry soldering and metal fabrication, endless patience and a healthy sense of humor, she creates a warm and welcoming learning environment. Not only does she believe in teaching "how", but "why" and this has made all of the difference to her students.
We’re looking forward to hosting you in our new Peachtree City home base.
What we'll do
COMING SOON TO THE ATLANTA AREA. SUMMER 2020. Using silk thread and practice beads, you’ll learn the fundamentals of the knotting technique, including: fitting the thread to the size of a bead, hand-knotting by placing evenly-spaced knots between each bead and how to create a professional beginning -and ending- to your piece using findings. In addition to providing solid-teaching skills, your Instructors will give lots of over-the-shoulder encouragement and one-on-one attention. All tools and beads will be provided. A materials fee of $10/per student (maximum) will be collected on-site via credit/debit card, PayPal or cash.
