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
Busy-hands and happy hearts!! Join us for a socially-distanced crafternoon at our new location in the Atlanta area. Hello, Peachtree City!! 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. Materials are included in the cost of the class: silk thread & assorted beads, plus findings.
