Beat the dust, beading is a must this Friday July 6 as we Meet & Bead

For some strange reason, our weekends seem to be more dust infused than our weekdays lately here in Kuwait.  What better way to escape by joining in our basement abode at the LB o J'zazz Beading Zone?  In an informal and comfortable setting you can meet makers and familiarize yourself with various crafts in off loom weaving, wire work and other inspiring mediums.
So, cool down with some homemade soups, refreshing beverages and some very interesting company.  You are most welcome to bring new guests and friends.

Bettina and I will be available to provide assistance and insights on any projects or techniques from previous classes that you might need.

Time:  6:00pm- 9:00pm

Wirework Loops: Freedom Butterfly Earring Class with Vintaj



Freedom Butterfly Earrings by Bettina



With all the transformations taking place in the world, Peoples movement toward a more liberated existence is at the forefront of our times.  Similarly this reminds me of the life cycle of a butterfly from an egg, to a caterpillar, then to the chrysalis where it is in its cocoon-like stage, and finally after great change it turns into a beautifully bright, soaring, free butterfly.  

Tuesdays' class project is a tribute the wonderful changes and to our current time.

Stage 4

Our 2-hour wire class "Freedom Butterfly Earrings" will be an introduction to to making the single most important task in wirework- a perfect loop.  You will learn how to make a simple loop, a 'P' loop and then take it up a notch and finally make the wrapped loop.  Also we will show you how to open and close a loop and a jump ring.  These techniques are considered core to wireworking projects and will come a long way for you in any future project you may want to create.

2-themed kits will be available for pre-class selection upon pre-registration

You will also be stringing onto wire a variety on Czech crystals in different sizes and colors along with a Czech pressed glass bead and a Vintaj Butterfly that will be the focal and central component of your earrings.
