    11:00am - 5:00pm     		Infinity Prisms Beaded Cubes & Captured Gems
    Gwen Fisher

    Infinity Weave is a new technique that is similar to an embellished version
    of right angle weave, yet it is remarkably rigid, so is a great weave for
    beaded beads. Each Infinity Prism uses seed beads in two or three sizes,
    and tiny drop beads can also embellish the surface. The Infinity Prism is
    remarkably amenable to changes in bead sizes, so you can use a variety
    of different size beads to create different shapes, all with the same pattern.

  • June 13 & 14, 2009
    11:00am - 5:00pm     		Vintage Lucite Trunk Show
     

    If you love old beads like we love old beads, you will want to check
    out the Vintage Lucite trunk show! Most of the inventory for this show
    is comprised of pre 1970s Lucite. These beads are 'lathe-turned';
    therefore, you will not see seams from being pressed in a mold. The
    mix of vintage Lucite with heavier beads is a stunning combination
    that, in the end, is much lighter weight for showing off your goods!

  • June 20, 2009
    11:00am - 4:00pm     		Night Sky Bracelet and Pendant
    Gwen Fisher

    This class will teach you an easy flat weave that can be used to make
    medium and wide bracelets and necklaces. Illustrated directions show
    you how to make 2 pendants and one bracelet. Photographs show how this
    weave can be made any width by adding more rows. You can even include
    small round crystals or weave large rings, right into the weave. Night Sky
    sews up much faster than other common flat weaves such as peyote stitch
    or herringbone so that you can finish a bracelet in a single day. In this
    class, you will learn about several variations, including two ways to
    add a clasp.
