Bring out the Inner Artist in You!

Have you always wanted to create your own jewelry, but are not sure where to start? Is not knowing the basics stopping you from putting together your creative ideas? Do you want to play and create with a variety of beads without making the investment in the proper tools and beads?

Then schedule a Phoenix Glassworks Jewelry Workshop and invite your friends! Come make jewelry with a fun group of people and a supportive environment!

At a Phoenix Glassworks Jewelry Party, you will have fun while learning how to attach clasps and do simple wire-wrapping. The artist will demonstrate techniques and be there to guide you or give advice as you need. Concentrate on learning using sample sets as a guide or flex your own creative muscles. Either way, create stunning jewelry made of beautiful high-quality Swarovski crystals and Sterling Silver findings while you develop your skills in a fun group setting.

Decide for yourself how simple or complex a piece you want to make and how much you want to spend by the beads and materials you select. Prices are on the containers & you'll have a worksheet to track what you use so you know beforehand how much you'll be spending. http://www.phoenixglassworks.com/bbcode/buyr_cpag.php?pid=10 for details.

Whether it is a personal item or a gift for a loved one, you will leave with jewelry that shines just like you do!

Unique completed creations will also be available for sale at the party. See http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6566324 to buy online.

Artist's Statement

Joann believes that there is creativity in all of us and that while inspiration can come from everything and everyone around us, our art should come from within rather than what we think will appeal and sell to the masses. Each of us has a unique style and what is most attractive is that which expresses our inner selves - that is what will draw people to each piece.
