Metalwork for Beaders and so much more!

This Wednesday January 20th is the first week of Suzanne Crudden's 8 week Metalwork for Beaders class. There are only a few spaces left! In this class rather than focusing on the technical aspects of professional metalsmithing we will focus on having some fun with metal. Students will learn traditional techniques as well, such as, how to saw, pierce and solder metal. Our focus will be not be project based but on skills that you will be able to practice at home with your own work.


This weekend January 23rd and 24th is a Glass Bead Making Weekend with Amy Waldman-Smith. Please note that the fee for this class is $240.00 (+GST). As of February there will be an increase in class fees. This is your last chance to get this class for this price!
