I'll be teaching eight classes at the 2010 Bead&Button Show.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the show or about my classes. I hope to see you there!
   
     (half full)  Stairstep Japanese Bracelet ~ Sunday June 6th, 7-10pm ~ class B10669
This is a design that I worked up specifically for Bead&Button. The class project is in sizes 11:16 and 9:18, but I might make optional kits in a daintier size.
 
     Segmented Dragonscale Bracelet ~ Monday June 7th, 9am-5:30pm ~ class B10671
Color and texture and drama, oh my! This one is just pretty - and also good practice for anyone wanting to build a good intuition for dragonscale weave.
 
     CLASS FULL  Perfect Closures ~ Tuesday June 8th, 7-10pm ~ class B10670
Yes, there is a class project, but the real focus of this class is getting your rings closed perfectly. I'll provide a wide variety of rings (including a bag of keep-you-honest rings) and I'll help you weed out any bad habits you might have.
   
     (mostly full)  Scalloped Japanese Necklace ~ Wednesday June 9th, 8am-3pm ~ class B10394
Curves and angles, both in one project. This class is not for the faint of heart (many, many rings) but the end result is dense and wonderful. You can assume that I'll talk at some length about the various ways of "tweaking" Japanese 12-in-2. (I mentioned that I love that weave, right?)
 
     Bejeweled 4-in-1 Bracelet ~ Thursday June 10th, 8am-3pm ~ class B10393
This is a fine, slinky bracelet with a zillion rings in it. I came up with this idea because I wanted interesting ways of incorporating beads (it is the Bead&Button Show after all) and I'm really pleased with how it came out.
 
     (half full)  Serpentine Persian Necklace ~ Friday June 11th, 8:30am-4pm ~ class B10392
This is the necklace that I was wearing most of the time at Bead&Button 2009. Tons of people asked me to teach it as a class. Voila!
 
     Full Color Chainmail
new session: (mostly full)  Friday June 11th, 5-8pm ~ class B10876
original session: CLASS FULL   Saturday June 12th, 9-12am ~ class B10396
Niobium really catches people's eye, but they sometimes feel intimidated by things like color fades. This class is all about working with niobium and making those pesky fades work out right.
   
     Harlequin Japanese Bracelet ~ Sunday June 13th, 9am-noon ~ class B10395
I love my Japanese 12-in-2, I really do. The class project uses 14:16 and 9:18 rings, but daintier kits (11:19 and 6:20) will also be avaliable.
