JEWELRY MAKING & REPAIR
Would you like to learn to make your own jewelry? One of our members, Cathy Tobin, makes some beautiful jewelry and has kindly consented to teach this workshop. Bring your own beads you've collected and/or jewelry from home that is broken or needs work (restringing, broken clasp, etc.). Get advice on how to make improvements on an existing piece or design from scratch, and learn how to crimp and otherwise attach elements of your piece.
