Coconino Community College - Flagstaff

Get started with beading to make gifts for yourself and others. In this three-hour workshop we will go over the basics of making a simple wire loop and a wire wrapped loop. Create items that will be perfect for the gift-giving season! You will make three pairs of headpin earrings to take home. All supplies and tools will be provided.

CJ Lucke has been beading for over 20 years. She has sold jewelry on Etsy and currently has a studio in her home. She has studied silversmithing at Coconino Community College but prefers the simplicity of small projects that can be completed in a few hours.

Although not required, you may wish to purchase your own tools for the workshop. There are three important tools you should have: wire-cutter pliers, round nose pliers, flat nose pliers - make sure there are no ridges on the jaws. You can find these beading pliers either at a local crafts store or online. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
