An alternative to taking classes is to work with me to tailor some private lessons for you. No matter what your level is, my goal is to help you perfect your bead and jewelry making skills and take your work in the direction you want it to go, and to share some of the things I've learned making beads over the last 15 years. Every minute that we spend is tailored by you, for you. These lessons are held in my cheerful mountain studio in the San Jose, CA area. Contact me to let me know what you're interested in learning, and we can work out a curriculum and schedule to meet your needs.
