Skill Level: Intermediate
Some bead embroidery experience is helpful but not required.
Description:
The project uses a linear scrolled focal and repeated fleur de lys shapes that make reference to France. The pink & blue color way which I call 'Macaroon', reminded me of the movie Marie Antoinette with all her dreamy candy-colored dresses. In fact, Italian costumier Milena Canonero's palette was inspired by a box of colorful macarons given to her by Director Sofia Coppola. Inspiration comes in all guises, I hope you will be inspired to create with beads.

Once the pendant is complete, we will use a dapping block to shape it attractively and then you will
learn to polish your completed jewelry using affordable and approachable tools and techniques.
You will construct the necklace from sheet metal stampings using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as soldering, texturing, filing, and polishing.
This class is appropriate for total beginners but also has much to offer a more advanced jewelry student.
All tools are provided but will be affordable and approachable options for the home jeweler.
You will receive comprehensive illustrated handouts for the class and a complete resource list. My teaching style and goal is for all my students to see a successful conclusion in a safe and fun learning environment. If you have any questions before enrolling, please email me at studiominerock@gmail.com .

Green CastleFebruary 1, 8:30am - 2:30pmSee Other DatesBeadweaving Class By Catherine HaedrichClass Fee: $100.00Kit Fee: $90.00
Skill Level: Intermediate
Some bead embroidery bezeling experience is helpful. No freeform experience needed, it is essentially peyote.
Description:
The central focal is a similar shape to a handheld mirror. The surreal cab of a woman with a castle on her head was selected in anticipation of European travel. Since castle pastures frequently have sheep, I took that thought and literally turned it on its head by adding a sheep to the bezel. Bead embroidery pairs well with freeform beading, it gives a more organic look that might not be achieved with other forms of beading. If you have some bead embroidery experience but haven't yet combined it with freeform, try this beginner-friendly project. Focal elements will be bezeled at home in advance (preferably) and then assembled in class via freeform peyote and a spiral peyote neckband.
Duration: 5 hours with break.
Techniques: Peyote bezels, flat peyote, and spiral peyote, brick stitch edging for bead embroidered components.
Kits are not required but will be available. Green Castle Kits include the entire central surreal focal element as shown, two cabochons for star-shaped bead woven auxiliary focals, a seed bead mix pack and lobster claw closure. Bead mix packs contain 15-11-10-8/0 seed beads, chips and miscellaneous bits for interest. Kits will be sent prior to class, US shipping $7. For you to make the best use of class time, it is highly recommended focals be bezeled prior to class with bead embroidery, bead weaving or a combination of both. For Green Castle, students should also select and prepare at least two auxiliary focals of size 18-22mm in the color theme and four of a recurring element to be used between focals to create a rhythm. I used 12x12mm leaves that came to a point, you may find/think of something different. For those preferring to work from their stash and own vision, I will support your creativity. Run your focal selection/color palette by me for a sanity check before starting, if you wish.

No experience needed! Learn to create unusual gold and silver jewelry in this introduction to the

create a unique effect.
Keum-boo is a simple but precise process and the instructor for this class will walk you carefully and

of those shown in the illustration. Each step will be carefully demonstrated and explained, but you will be able to bring your own design ideas to the project.
Skills covered in this class include depletion gilding, cutting and placing foil, fusing, patinating the metal, and finally polishing and finishing.
Silver blanks will be available in a selection of shapes, and availability may vary. Cost of the kit with all the components needed to make earrings will be $95 including the silver ear wires, in addition to the class fee of $100.
When you leave class, you will not only have successfully created your first piece of wearable art—but you will also take with you a comprehensive handout, with fully illustrated step-by-step instructions to help you get started in your home studio, plus a detailed list of resources you need and where to buy them.
If the time and date of the class you want to take is unavailable, please email the teacher at

Things to bring with you to class: any magnification you might need for close work, plus a battery
operated task light if you want it—the classrooms at the show can be a little dimly lit!
Please, no requests for refunds less than five days before the show, due to the planning needed for

Intermediate. Some experience with metal clay or soldering is helpful but not required—come ready to learn and experiment.
Inspired by the iconic earrings worn by Rebecca in Ted Lasso, this workshop blends contemporary design with artisan techniques to create a pair of striking, modern friction tube earrings. These aren’t just statement earrings—they’re conversation starters.
In this hands-on class, students will begin by designing and forming their own fine silver metal clay elements to feature on the front and back of each earring. Once fired, you'll dive into precision fabrication techniques: filing, and bending sterling silver tubing using a pliers and miter vise, and learning how to solder the tube cleanly and securely to your fired clay components. From there, you'll fit and solder the 20g sterling wire, bend it into shape, and finish with polishing and optional patina.
What You'll Learn:
How to design and create fine silver components with metal clay
Tube filing, and bending techniques using .925 tubing
Soldering on metal clay
Techniques for friction-fit wire fabrication and shaping
Finishing, polishing, and patination for a modern, professional look
How to achieve balance, symmetry, and visual impact in wearable sculpture
Why Take This Class:
This is more than just a jewelry project—it's a deep dive into mixed media techniques that combine fine silver artistry with precision metalwork. You'll leave with a unique, high-impact pair of earrings and a versatile new skill set that bridges the gap between metal clay and traditional silversmithing. If you’re ready to take your jewelry to the next level, this class is for you.
Kit: Each student will receive Project X .999 15 grams, .925 tube and .925 wire. Kit fee is included in the registration price!

Skill Level: Intermediate
Some bead embroidery bezeling experience is helpful. No freeform experience needed, it is essentially peyote.
Description:
The central focal is a similar shape to a handheld mirror. The surreal cab of a woman with a castle on her head was selected in anticipation of European travel. Since castle pastures frequently have sheep, I took that thought and literally turned it on its head by adding a sheep to the bezel. Bead embroidery pairs well with freeform beading, it gives a more organic look that might not be achieved with other forms of beading. If you have some bead embroidery experience but haven't yet combined it with freeform, try this beginner-friendly project. Focal elements will be bezeled at home in advance (preferably) and then assembled in class via freeform peyote and a spiral peyote neckband.
Duration: 5 hours with break.
Techniques: Peyote bezels, flat peyote, and spiral peyote, brick stitch edging for bead embroidered components.
Kits are not required but will be available. Green Castle Kits include the entire central surreal focal element as shown, two cabochons for star-shaped bead woven auxiliary focals, a seed bead mix pack and lobster claw closure. Bead mix packs contain 15-11-10-8/0 seed beads, chips and miscellaneous bits for interest. Kits will be sent prior to class, US shipping $7. For you to make the best use of class time, it is highly recommended focals be bezeled prior to class with bead embroidery, bead weaving or a combination of both. For Green Castle, students should also select and prepare at least two auxiliary focals of size 18-22mm in the color theme and four of a recurring element to be used between focals to create a rhythm. I used 12x12mm leaves that came to a point, you may find/think of something different. For those preferring to work from their stash and own vision, I will support your creativity. Run your focal selection/color palette by me for a sanity check before starting, if you wish.

Skill Level: All
This class is appropriate for total beginners but also has much to offer a more advanced jewelry student.
This class is a full six hours so that a small group (enrollment is limited to eight) of students can be
carefully and calmly coached through a simple series of steps that combine to create a
sophisticated piece of jewelry. We will take a short break at a mutually agreed upon time in the middle of the day.
Once you have chosen your gemstone from a selection made available in class, you will create this entire pendant, including the bezel, the background texture, and the bail. You may supply your own gemstone, but it must be a flat back cabochon stone, and it should not be too big or too fragile. I do reserve the right to suggest your use of a class gemstone for learning!
Using a custom fabricated bezel, you will set a cabochon gem on your pendant, and finally you will learn to make your own bail and to suspend your pendant kinetically from its chain using a heat riveting technique.
You will construct the pendant from sheet and wire using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as soldering, texturing, filing, granulation, stone setting, and polishing.
All tools are provided but will be affordable and approachable options for the home jeweler.
You will receive comprehensive illustrated handouts for the class, along with complete
resource lists. My teaching style and goal is for all my students to see a successful conclusion in a safe and fun learning environment. If you have any questions before enrolling, please email me at

carefully and calmly coached through a simple series of steps that combine to create a
sophisticated piece of jewelry. We will take a short break at a mutually agreed upon time in the middle of the day.
Once you have chosen your gemstone from a selection made available in class, you will create this entire pendant, including the bezel, the background texture, and the bail. You may supply your own gemstone, but it must be a flat back cabochon stone, and it should not be too big or too fragile. I do reserve the right to suggest your use of a class gemstone for learning!
Using a custom fabricated bezel, you will set a cabochon gem on your pendant, and finally you will learn to make your own bail and to suspend your pendant kinetically from its chain using a heat riveting technique.
You will construct the pendant from sheet and wire using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as soldering, texturing, filing, granulation, stone setting, and polishing.
All tools are provided but will be affordable and approachable options for the home jeweler.
You will receive comprehensive illustrated handouts for the class, along with complete
resource lists. My teaching style and goal is for all my students to see a successful conclusion in a safe and fun learning environment. If you have any questions before enrolling, please email me at

Skill Level: Intermediate
Intermediate. Some experience with metal clay or soldering is helpful but not required—come ready to learn and experiment.
Inspired by the iconic earrings worn by Rebecca in Ted Lasso, this workshop blends contemporary design with artisan techniques to create a pair of striking, modern friction tube earrings. These aren’t just statement earrings—they’re conversation starters.
In this hands-on class, students will begin by designing and forming their own fine silver metal clay elements to feature on the front and back of each earring. Once fired, you'll dive into precision fabrication techniques: filing, and bending sterling silver tubing using a pliers and miter vise, and learning how to solder the tube cleanly and securely to your fired clay components. From there, you'll fit and solder the 20g sterling wire, bend it into shape, and finish with polishing and optional patina.
What You'll Learn:
How to design and create fine silver components with metal clay
Tube filing, and bending techniques using .925 tubing
Soldering on metal clay
Techniques for friction-fit wire fabrication and shaping
Finishing, polishing, and patination for a modern, professional look
How to achieve balance, symmetry, and visual impact in wearable sculpture
Why Take This Class:
This is more than just a jewelry project—it's a deep dive into mixed media techniques that combine fine silver artistry with precision metalwork. You'll leave with a unique, high-impact pair of earrings and a versatile new skill set that bridges the gap between metal clay and traditional silversmithing. If you’re ready to take your jewelry to the next level, this class is for you.
Kit: Each student will receive Project X .999 15 grams, .925 tube and .925 wire. Kit fee is included in the registration price!

Description:
The project uses a linear scrolled focal and repeated fleur de lys shapes that make reference to France. The pink & blue color way which I call 'Macaroon', reminded me of the movie Marie Antoinette with all her dreamy candy-colored dresses. In fact, Italian costumier Milena Canonero's palette was inspired by a box of colorful macarons given to her by Director Sofia Coppola. Inspiration comes in all guises, I hope you will be inspired to create with beads.

You will hammer texture your silver disc, and then learn how to “tin” your copper star to attach it to
your base silver disc. I will also show you several techniques for controlling solder flow. Once you have soldered on your copper star, we will fabricate a fine silver granule and add that to the center of the pendant for a final mixed metals flourish.
Once the pendant is complete, we will use a dapping block to shape it attractively and then you will
learn to polish your completed jewelry using affordable and approachable tools and techniques.
You will construct the necklace from sheet metal stampings using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as soldering, texturing, filing, and polishing.
This class is appropriate for total beginners but also has much to offer a more advanced jewelry student.
All tools are provided but will be affordable and approachable options for the home jeweler.
You will receive comprehensive illustrated handouts for the class and a complete resource list. My teaching style and goal is for all my students to see a successful conclusion in a safe and fun learning environment.
