Teaching Info
I've been joyfully sharing beading techniques for over 30 years. My first class was teaching Brownies how to make a beaded barrette. My first "Official" beading class was teaching basic jewelry making for The Shepherdess in San Diego in the mid-80's. Since then, I've taught many techniques and projects all over the country, written and co-written 7 beadwork books, and twice been a guest artist on the DIY Jewelry Making show. I really enjoy inspiring and enabling others to create something beautiful.
