Not to worry, Gigi; it’s perfectly normal to find remembering gemstone names and the concepts of jewelry-making a little confounding in the beginning, especially when attempting to learn on your own (not everyone is made for that). That’s why we’re SO excited to announce that our famous Findings Crash Course is COMING BACK! During our crash course in jewelry making, you’ll learn all of the basics to get you on your way to making the jewelry of your dreams, or just the skills to repair and re-work the beads and jewelry you already have. Our first class back is July 17th, which was announced first to our waiting list, and now has one more spot left; our second class was *just* listed for August 21st, and there will be 6 seats available. Follow the link to learn more and to sign up! If neither of those dates work for you, or they sell out, have no fear as we’ll be adding more dates soon. We DO still have our youtube videos up for those of you who’s like a run-through of some of our techniques before you make it (or in lieu of coming) into class, and those are also accessible through the link
