MAKE: Jewelry - Silver and Pearls

Time to pull together those last minute gifts that you create yourself.

Pearls of any kind are unique in their ability to carry an outfit from day to night. A cascade of pearls is an elegant staple for any fine jewelry collection. For minimalist allure, or for making a beautifully bold statement, come learn to make this pendant with clusters of Baroque freshwater pearls and silver filled (with a few sparkling crystals for good measure) for someone special or to wear yourself.

Instructor Bio: "As a mostly self-taught artist, I understand how difficult it can be to get started on developing necessary skills to create your own wearable works of art.

I have been dabbling with a wide range of art and craft projects all my life, and have always gravitated back to handmade jewelry and working with wire. I have been making jewelry since 2000 and my favorite technique is the Viking Wire Weave (Knit) which I learned at the University of Ithra through the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) in 1998.

I discovered that I love teaching others and have done so since 2001. I am most inspired by helping others discover and develop their own creativity and hope to bring inspiration to those just beginning their artistic journey." -Denise "Dee" Townsend - Whims in Wire ~ handcrafts by Dee
