New Class Schedule & Beading Classes for Kids this summer!
I'm so excited, we have such a wonderful schedule of classes available this summer!
We have a couple of spaces left in our June classes too, check them out here http://www.manifestbeads.com/class/index.html The Netted Chevron Bracelet & Peyote Cuff class are both beginner classes. They look harder than they are, and they would look beautiful in many different combinations of colors.
We have put out a new schedule for July, August, September. We have changed our scheduling to put out a schedule every quarter, rather than every other month. It will make planning for you much easier! Kira, Pat, & Barb have come up with some BEAUTIFUL projects for this quarter. And if you mention you read this (or if you have a coupon for the newsletter) you can take $10 off one class!
We are running kid's beading classes again this summer. Your child can learn how to make her very own necklace, how to use the tools to attach clasps, what supplies are needed, etc. You have a choice of July 19th or August 22nd at 3:30pm for a one hour class for just $20 which includes the instruction & supplies. And new for this summer is Polymer Clay Beadmaking classes for kids. Your child can make BBQ shape charms....watermelons, hot dogs & hamburgers, and ice cream cone shaped beads. This class is running on July 18th at 2pm. And we also have Polymer Clay Beadmaking "Retro" tie-dye beads on August 8th. Here they will be making their own bright colored beads. Both classes they will make their own beads, and string them onto a necklace with lots of beads to choose from. The cost of each class is just $20 which includes the instruction and all the supplies to make the beads in class. Give us a call at (203) 877-7778 or stop in the shop to register or for more information.
