Fall 2025 Beading Classes

Fall is the perfect season to get creative and settle in with beads! Whether you’re brand-new to the world of jewelry making or looking to expand your skills, our Fall 2025 workshops are designed to inspire, teach, and spark ideas for holiday gifting.

Most of our classes are scheduled on Saturdays, so you can enjoy a relaxed and creative weekend. For October, we’re adding Thursday late-afternoon sessions, perfect if weekends are tricky or you just want more chances to bead.

From bead weaving and stringing to wirework, every class is fun, approachable, and packed with tips you’ll actually use. Each workshop includes a complete kit, so you can focus on the project instead of tracking down supplies. Our instructors are here to guide you step-by-step, making sure you leave class with both new skills and something beautiful to wear or give.

We have options for every level, from absolute beginners who want to feel confident starting out, to experienced beaders ready to try something new. With lots of exciting projects on the fall lineup, seats will fill quickly, so don’t wait too long to reserve your spot.

We’re excited to share a season of creativity with you. Let’s make this fall all about color, sparkle, and handmade treasures.
