CLASS DESCRIPTION
Handmade beads make a fabulous centerpiece alone or strung with other beads or gemstones. Beads can also be used in other unique ways as rings or earrings. In this class we'll focus on using Argentium to make 2 different beads. One will be embellished with wire and the other will be a textured, unique shape. We'll cover fusing techniques, different ways to create holes for stringing and the use of tubing to give your beads a professional look and feel.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Jennifer was born and raised in Boulder, Colorado.  As is often the case, Jennifer did not begin her adult life as an artist. Her early roots began in chemistry and food science where she developed a love of creating art with food.  Jennifer feels that her creative spark was truly ignited when she completed the graduate jeweler program at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts and apprenticed with a San Francisco area jewelry designer.

Prerequisites
Argentium experience is preferred (Please do some research if you haven't used Argentium. Lots of information and videos can be found online.)
