Craft Crafter Crafting In the Open Space Studio

3rd Wednesday of every month

11-3:00 p.m.

We've opened a new studio so we're starting a new group. This group is going to bring out the best in everyone. You can work on anything you want and hopefully we'll all learn something new from each other. We know there is so much more out there than just beads so why not share some knowledge or just show off what you do!

If you want to bead, you are more than welcome to pack up some beads and join us too.

For the first meeting we'll start at Bead Soup just in case I don't have all the chairs and tables ready but we'll take a walk and show everyone.

Since this group isn't about beads or beading there is a $10 fee

The Brickers Group (Copy)

This event is free

This group started off with the intentions of me having the ability to teach while running the store BUT after the December get together I realized that I am not able to do that so the scope of this group is a get together and not a 4 hour teaching session. I will teach and guide as much as I can and I will not ask others to teach while they are there to work on their own projects. My customers have always been generous with their time but they are not obligated to spend their time teaching.

 If you want to reuse a technique you previously learned at Bead Soup,

or need the bench space and need to borrow specific tools to get it done?

Silver Studio is your answer! 

What better way and time to practice your skills!?

(Or just treat yourself to some silver time)

This is time for you to work on your own while hanging out in a place where creative energies are abundant!  

This is not a class, but a perfect time to refine your skills, get some guidance, use tools, molds, textures and have enough silver available to work your project. 

Pre registration is necessary and silver can be purchased (at market prices) from the studio. 

                                                                                If you have silver clay you may bring it. 

Your projects can be left for firing/ polishing/ finishing/ or not! All as needed by you.

Pieces left for firing are returned in approx 2 weeks for pickup at Bead Soup.

Registration fee of $60. 

Please sign up on the website

A la Carte menu ----

Fine Silver available 10, 20, 50 gm packs, from $50 - $165

               cz stones, glass cabochons, ring stops will be available for purchase for your projects as well. 

(firing, polishing included in fee)

Studio time is for tool and bench use and does not include any consumable supplies.

(if you know you will need specific molds, inclusions, tools, amount of silver - let us know ahead - it will help be prepared for you)

THIS IS NOT A CLASS, SO YOU MUST BE ABLE TO WORK mostly INDEPENDENTLY.

(quick questions/ assistance are welcome)
