Tools

A student toolbox will be available for use at the workshop, if you don’t have your own.
If you would prefer to buy your own, this link will show you an inexpensive beginner set.

• Round nose jewelry pliers
• Flat nose jewelry pliers
• Wire cutters

Beads

Refer to the photograph in the course description for ideas.  Much of the work will be without beads, so a small selection will be enough.

Any of the following will work:

• Raw or polished stones,  interesting buttons - with a shank, or with holes, fire polished beads - 4- 6mm. Almost any size or shape bead will work as long as you are comfortable with it on your finger.

I will have beads and stones available.

Feel free to email me with any questions about materials.
