Now that you are quickly becoming a bead stringing expert, it's time to take your skills to the next level. If you want to make earrings, and I hope you do, learning basic pinwork techniques is very important. I often see many handcrafted pieces in jewelry shops that have less than quality handiwork when it comes to pinwork.

This class will introduce you to basic pinwork and give you guidance on how to do it correctly on a consistent basis. . . .
