Tired of the same old strings and pony beads? Come play with seed beads and metal!
In this class, students will use metal wire, pliers, bench blocks and hammers to cut, bend and pound out their "abacus" frames. Choosing from an assortment of colorful seed beads, students will then string rows of seed beads onto thin wires to wrap around their handmade frames. We'll finish by creating a closure at the top of the pendant through which we will thread string or ribbon to make a beautiful necklace!
