  We’ll be making these circular components …isn’t it appropriate for this time of year?!   You can use them as earrings, as beads for a bracelet or necklace. For those of you who want something easier this cool and fun woven look will be taught as well. You can even use both styles and create your own unique piece of jewelry This class is open to our regulars  (of course) as well as anyone else who wants to join…even just this one time. However if you are a one timer (as opposed to a two-timer?!) you must contact me so I’ll know to expect you!   The cost is 100 shekels for the class including all materials, Sunday from 8-10:30 p.m. Shavuah Tov!
