In any of these 3-week clinics you will learn basic wire-wrapping skills in order to make your own jewelry to give or keep. Once you know how to make pendants, earrings and bookmarks, you will have the ability to make your own charms, anklets and sea glass ornaments as well. Dust off the sea glass sitting in jars and bottles and make some gems for you and your loved ones.

Private workshops are $40. for 2 hours. I supply white sea glass, tools, glass beads and wire for up to four people (or $10. per person). If you want recycled sterling silver wire or crystal beads it’s $60. for the 2 hours (or $15. per person). Contact me at 617-962-0036/

My wonderful friend and neighbor artist told me about this World Beach Project and it’s a fabulous concept. People from all over the world are making designs on beaches using ONLY rocks. Anyhow, here is what my daughter did at the end of the project. If you want to find out more about the project here is the link: www.vam.ac.uk/collections/textiles/lawty/world_beach
