December holidays aren't my favorite. There, now you know a thing about me.
I find the holidays make everyone more stressed out, so to help ease things along at family events, I bring crafts.
Jewelry is a winner for make and take activities, whether they are family or work. Here are 3 jewelry tutorials in order of ease of transport to help make your holiday get togethers more fun!
These are also great for workshops in your studio or ladies night events.
Micro mosaic jewelry
These make and take jewelry pieces are my go to for holiday family (or company) party events. Help the kids make instant gifts for
their parents or grandma. In fact, I'm doing this exact project with my littles using frit balls instead of mica mosaic.
These earrings combine hardware with glass in a tension setting. Premake the beads and participants can assemble, customize and
personalize with additional elements dangling from the hardware loops.
It's quite easy to create reverse intaglio jewelry with a kiln and plaster forms. Premade pendants can be reverse painted with low
fire enamels or oven cured paints for a more hands on glass project. Even small hands can paint with Pebeo!

Upcoming classes:
Still have a couple of spaces for this class in January!
January 17-February 9, Tuesday evening 6:30 - 9
Intro to Fusing Class - Tuesdays
The Thursday class has just one spot left, so I have opened up a Tuesday session! If you needed a different day of the week, or
were on the fence, this one is for you.
Beginning fusing class. This class is great fun, 2 weeks with recycled glass and 2 weeks with fusible art
glass, so no matter what path your glass journey takes, you have a solid foundation in glass theory and knowledge.
Animals of the Arctic - on CuriousMondo.com - December 13-15, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Learn to fuse animals that inhabit the far north. These are all new designs. While this class will have the usual ridiculous number of projects, we will also spend considerable time on how to translate a
glass idea into a glass reality. Free to watch the live broadcast.
