Keep your Creative Resolutions with a January Class

Woo hoo, we made through the holidays! Depending where in Canada (or the rest of the world) you are, the winter snows are blowing and we don't want to go out unless we really have to. Let's do something about that cabin fever and come on out for a class or two at BeadFX!

Our imaginative and inspirational instructors have created a wide and varied palette of jewellery projects and techniques to share with you. Bonni Poch has a new wire wrapped pendant and a new cubic right-angle weave pendant! Christine Woollacott will be teaching how to add a gem stone setting to an enamelled piece. Anne Marie Desaulniers will be leading our first new Tuesday Taster mini-class! Metal enthusiasts will love Kelly Garland's new project using Labradorite. Cindy Goldrick is bringing us two projects using resin. You'll also love the projects that are coming back and being taught by Jen Rosen, Amy Waldman, Maria Rypan, Pamela Kearns and many more!
