CLASS
DESCRIPTIONS
Most of the classes will be taught from
kits that you will purchase on the website, then pick up
when you attend the classes. Annette wants each
person to create a piece that expre sses
his/her own artistic vision and spirit, so you will be
given a lot of freedom in what you choose.
In order to keep costs down for
the budget minded, we offer you a choice of copper or
sterling silver wire with a natural stone cabochon or
commercially produced bead (or beads or cabochon,
depending on what the project calls for). For
nicer or more unique pieces, an upgraded kit will give
you a choice of beads or cabochons at each level, so you
will be able to choose a focal point that suits your
personality and spirit.
Extra kits and upgrades will be
available at each class. |
