Learn to Set A Simple Stone – Next Week!
Makers,
Join us Mondays, June 17th and June 24th from 5:00 pm – 8:00 PM for Learn to Set A Simple Stone. In this beginner class you’ll be given a stone cabochon and silver sheet to create a bezel to set it in! The instructor will guide you through creating a simple design, how to create your bezel, and finally how to turn it into either a simple pendant or add it to a silver ring if you’ve taken the ring class! You’ll learn a fun and essential skill to jewelry making: how to set a stone!
*Want to turn your set stone into a ring? Sign up for one of the ring classes earlier or in the month! Be sure to let the instructor know this is what you plan to do with your stone so you can plan your design accordingly! Only two spots left!

Intro to Sashiko-Style Invisible Mending
Monday, June 24th, 6 – 8 PM
In this introductory class to visible mending students will create simple but unique exterior patch repairs and/or embellishments to their denim or medium-weight twill garments, inspired by the ancient Japanese tradition of Sashiko stitching. We will consider environmental effects of our throw-away clothing culture, as well as the concepts of “slow fashion,” “mindful mending,” individuality, and responsible sourcing. Each student will leave with 2 patches (provided), written materials for home reference, and inspiration to turn their current wardrobe into something special instead of something trashed.
Ages 13 & up (accompanied by an adult) are allowed. This class is open to all skill levels.
