February brings the rain,

Thaws the frozen lake again.

Hello Beaders!

What better way to spend a dreary February evening than beading with your friends?

This month we are excited to bring back Liz Steele Coates, who will teach us how to make beautiful Cluster Necklaces. 

Students will learn how to create a wire-wrapped post to hold a focal pendant, as well as how to attach multiple chains and looped headpins with beads in order to create a stunning, long necklace valued between $60 and $75.

Each kit will cost $22 and will include a small piece of 16 ga. copper wire, multiple longer lengths of base metal chain (copper, pewter, antique silver, gold-plated silver), 10 jump rings, 8-12 mixed crystals and glass beads, 7 fancy headpins, 1 large focal bead, and 6 short lengths of base metal chain (copper, pewter, antique silver, gold-plated silver).

The Bead Garden will also have a sale table with a variety of “grab bags” of miscellaneous beads from their shop. There will be lot of treasures, so bring some extra cash! Check out the new store:
