This brand new class is by special request, several of you have wondered what the secret sauce recipe is behind all the fun beaded pendant chains ... so here we go! Join us for a riotous Saturday afternoon of frolic among the beads!

Saturday December 13th from 2-4pm

All those silver treasures you made - can now be finished! Or any chainless pendants you have waiting- bring them to adorn!

You have the choice to bring any beads, chain - even broken bits, ribbon, clasps and crimps you have accumulated for the day you just knew you would need them.

Or!

You can wander the many volumes of treasures strung through Bead Soup and purchase as you go.

$30 fee will get you the afternoon of instruction in the studio and use of tools if you haven't brought them.

There will be loads of samples even some silver pendants for purchase if you have forgotten yours.

Don't miss this chance to finish up gifts for the holidays too!!

Its all in the Layers - Dimensional Silver!

Just before the Holiday madness - treat yourself to some fun on a Saturday morning!

This technique is perfect for anyone who is just starting out with precious metal clay, or those with a bit of experience. 

We will work with molds, complimenting the layers - focus will be joining the parts. 

You will choose a couple shapes you want to layer - like my snowman, his scarf and his giant snowflake!

Then you will learn how to get the separate pieces to join - making sure they are one piece... without squashing the shapes or detail!

15 grams of silver will allow for a base piece and several dimensional decorations.

Silver pieces will go home with Michelle for fire and polish and be returned to Bead Soup for pickup after 12noon on Friday Dec 19th 

$85

Charmed Silver Clay! Magical, mystical, alchemical!

Happy Holidays!

And do we have a gift for you!

Each charm $25

this could be the chance for you, especially if you have been "meaning to join us" to discover what precious metal clay is all about.

Precious Metal Clay is created from silver particles reclaimed from old electronics, fine silver that can be manipulated to all ends of the imagination! 

Make it now/ pick up later. Now its clay/ later it is pure silver!

Bead Soup - Holiday Pop up will hold a quick, on the spot, Silver Clay Charm Afternoon,

We will have a table full of molds and a bit of clay to play - $25, and you can make your own charm. Just a quick taste to experience how cool this medium is to create with. And simple! This moment will give you a feel for how simple it can be. 

You will be introduced to molds, given a bit of silver, then the following weekend (or anytime after Dec 19th) come back to pick up the fired and polished pieces, where you can also choose a ribbon or chain or ear wires to complete your new gleaming silver treasures.

A call to let us know you are interested is great - but you can just pass through too.

Lots of Holiday charms available, but we will have others on hand too 

Silver artist, Michelle Arsenault will help you mold your own fine silver charm with Precious Metal Clay $25 per charm. Michelle will give you a quick introduction to process of transforming reclaimed silver clay (PMC) into a beautiful pure silver charm. Beginners are most definitely welcome! Bring a friend (or two) we will be having just so much fun!  Michelle will take your pieces home with her to her studio where she will fire and polish your treasures, then return them to Bead Soup the following week (anytime after Dec 19th for pick up)
