New Hair Jewelry Blanks at Hobby Lobby

I’m very happy to announce that my new Mosaic Jewelry class starts next week at CO Free U.!  Mosaic jewelry is a great way to wear your love of mosaics and have a piece of jewelry that’s totally customized to you and your style!  And, it only requires 3 hours of your time (one-session class) and a low class and materials fee!  You’ll get to choose from different jewelry bases, including pendants, rings, earrings, and bracelets! You’ll leave the class with one finished piece!

Make your own delicate mosaic jewelry and learn how to decorate  your original design with tiny mosaic tiles, beads, and glass (the mosaic ”tesserae”) in this hands-on workshop.   You’ll learn the basics of making mosaic jewelry and complete your jewelry piece during class. Choose to make a ‘groutless’ style mosaic or take home grout, sealer, and clear instructions to finish the piece off simply at home in about a 1/2 hour. A wide array of materials are provided with your materials fee or you can upgrade to more elaborate supplies.   I’ll also include information on great sources for mosiac and jewelry materials and supplies and next-level mosaic jewelry in this fun, stress-relieving course.  Absolutely NO prior mosaic, jewelry-making, or art experience is necessary to quickly and easily learn this fun craft!  Come take a break from the daily grind and lose yourself for a few hours in a creative, stress-free environment!
