Mini-classes
I have been working on a
series of mini classes. Each class is 1 1/2 hours long and is designed to let
you try your hand at a particular technique before committing to a more in-depth
class. As with each of my classes, all materials are included and you will
always return home with a finished piece of jewelry. Each class assumes NO
EXPERIENCE with any of the techniques.
