Some people learn better with key words, other with visual step-by-step instruction, and some prefer doing the project along with the instructor.
With custom classes, we've found increasing success in teaching design and techniques because we can concentrate on you. NO ONE is left behind, or held back - it's been a great way for you to make what you want, in a comfortable one-on-one setting.

Meet your teacher, Ednah!
 Ednah Rivera was Born in Rio Piedras, Ruerto Rico. She grew up in Chicago where she earned a Bachelor Degree in Education from Northeastern Illinois university and a Masters Degree in Administration and Supervision in Education from Loyola University. She taught elementary education during 25 years in the Chicago Public Schools and for ten years she was an Assistant Principle.
After serving in education for 35 years, she retired two years ago. This is when she started beading as a hobby and gradually discovered a love for wire sculpting as it provided more of a challenge. Ednah has been wire-sculpting since then!
Other than the basic wire classes she is pretty much self taught in wire-sculpting. "Wiring gives me an opportunity to express my creative side while still incorporating beads and crystals to embellish the semi-precious stones and cabochons I sculpt". Ednah loves teaching her craft as much as she enjoys creating her wire-scupting pieces.
"'n' it's all right now, learned my lesson well, You see, ya can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself" Rick Nelson

Where did the TIN CUP come from?
|
| |
All eyes landed on the pearl station necklace, better known as the Tin Cup necklace. The style was a smash after actress Rene Russo, to the dismay of her directors, wore designer Wendy Brigode's spaced-pearl necklace in back-to-back starring roles in fall 1996 – in the movie that became the style's namesake and two months later in Ransom.
The original design by Brigode used 7mm to 8mm baroque Japanese cultured pearls strung with even spaces between. Takeoffs abounded at the trade shows that winter: versions used freshwater cultured pearls, dyed pearls, gold and silver chains, even Tahitian black pearls spaced to save on cost.
Many jewelers also don't know that "Tin Cup necklace," the term used frequently on signs and in conversation, is a protected name, though Brigode is not legally defending it. "Warner Bros. gave me permission to use 'Tin Cup' as a trademark of that movie, so theoretically no one else can use it," she says. The politically correct and legally precise alternative: "cultured pearl station necklace."
– by Stacey King
Wendy Brigode's Tin Cup necklace started the station craze.
