Summertime and the living is easy Luckily, the shop is also nice and frosty, so please step on in and join us for summertime creations. Saturday Beading Basics classes 10-1: CHANGES! Our free beading basics classes are proving so popular that we need to make a few changes in order to keep the number
of students manageable. We are now offering two sessions each Saturday: 10-11:30: WIRE WRAP
BASICS. We will work in wire, and cover wrapped-loop technique, a foundation skill used in earrings, rosaries and in making
wrapped links for all manner of applications. 11:30-1:00: STRINGING BASICS. We will work with beading cable and
with crimps to learn how to string and finish a basic necklace or bracelet. There should be some flex time in this session
to discuss additional technique, including stretch bracelets and design principles. Please
be prompt! The table we work at can accommodate five people per session, and we're running on a first come, first served basis.
Our instructor will do her best to catch people up mid-session if necessary, but it's far easier to learn what we have to
teach when the whole group is working at roughly the same point. If you'd
like to tackle a more advanced technique beyond the basics covered in these sessions, please let us know and we can discuss
the possibility of a scheduled one-on-one class. Consign your excess beads and findings with Nomad Bead Merchants! Please click here for further details. Beading Birthday Parties: Please inquire Nomad is now hosting a limited number of birthday parties at the shop. Please inquire for details if you're interested in a unique and fun experience in our sunny, creativity-fostering space. We can also provide kits for off-site parties; just give us a call and ask for Catherine. |
