Class experience

In this class, students will learn:
• How to use professional style jewelry pliers to cut and manipulate chain links.
• How to properly measure wrists and design our bracelets accordingly.
• How to create beaded dangle accents for our bracelet.
• How to properly open and close jump rings to securely connect our charms, bead, and clasp to our bracelet.
• How to consider different colors and styles for creating pieces that make us say "wow!"
I have over 18 years of experience in jewelry creation, including designing and successfully selling my work through artisan festivals and e-commerce for over a decade. As an educator, I have been teaching students from elementary to high school through the world of jewelry making for over 7 years through homeschool classes, birthday parties, private instruction, and after-school enrichment courses across 8 elementary schools. I have also been teaching here on Outschool since December 2020 and I've loved every minute!
