FUNdamentals of Basic Beading
A technique class for beginners

.

Basic beading class is a 2-hour introductory beading class designed for students 14+ years old  who have never beaded and it is the perfect class for people who think they're "not creative" (at Fandangle Bead Store we believe everyone is creative and we'll prove it to you!).  In this beginner level class you will learn a simple wire-wrapping technique (a must for making your own focal pendants, earrings and charm bracelets), the ABC's of bead stringing and all the information you need to explore your inner bead diva!  Students will complete a simple necklace and earrings ensemble during this 2-hour class.   

Basic bead classes are our most popular class and tend to fill up 7-10 days ahead of time, so call to register early.  We can also reserve this class as an event for your special group, ages l4+.
