Sharon has taught for dozens of organizations such as Brooklyn Brainery, Brooklyn Public Library, Coursehorse, BUST Craftacular, and The United Federation of Teachers (UFT) turning absolute beginners into confident, capable, and enthusiastic Beaders.

This class might be over, but get first dibs on new sessions and brand-new classes by signing up on our ultra-rad mailing list.

Let’s get knotted up in fun! A twist on the tradition of pearl knotting, we will be making a fresh and modern design with Czech glass beads and plated metal chain.

Using an awl (a handheld pin tool), let’s create a colorful segment of beads and knots and then crimp (affix) our design to chain. A beautiful pop of color will have a floating effect when attached in the center of your necklace.

You will leave class with a beautiful, custom piece of jewelry and two new skills, knotting and crimping. All of the beads and materials are included in the cost of class and a set of sterilized tools will be lent to everyone.
