   Full Day Bead Retreat

You will learn the basic wiring, stringing and design skills needed to create several gorgeous pieces of unique jewelry.  This is a full day class (10am to 4pm on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday of your choice) of skill-building, hands-on instruction, a gourmet lunch with wine (that's right, it's included!!) and lots of laughter.  I furnish all the necesssary tools, semi-precious gemstones, silver components and expertise needed to complete your projects.  You will leave with 3 pairs of earrings, a gemstone bracelet and a multi-strand necklace. 

Each class is limited to 4 participants.  Cost for the day per person is $175.00 by check or credit card (visa or mastercard).  We also have a mini-store where you can purchase the tools needed to continue making beautiful jewelry at home.  Please email me at jrockwearableart@gmail.com or contact me from my blog, www.jrockwearableart.blogspot.com  for more information.
