Take your jewelry pieces from in-progress to fully wearable in this hands-on finishing class. Explore a range of techniques for connecting beads and components, including stringing, knotting, and wire connections, along with clean, professional methods for finishing ends.
You’ll learn about different types of clasps and closures—and how to choose the right one to complement both the function and design of your piece. Along the way, we’ll touch on essential tools, materials, and design considerations to help you make confident, thoughtful decisions at the bench.
