For those looking to take a basic beading class for earrings only or individuals wanting to brush up on their earring making skills, this class is perfect for you.  For 1 hour we will be entirely focused on earrings, starting from square one.  Earrings are great instant gratification for new beaders and self-proclaimed "un-creative types!" They are so easy you can whip up a pair while you drink your morning coffee to match your outfit for the day.  We will make 2 types of beginning earrings and learn all about the world of earring findings from earhooks to earclips and decorative headpins to plain eyepins. 
Supplies: 4 earwires (posts, hooks, or clip on); 4 headpins (plain or decorative); 2 eyepins; variety of beads to fit your pins (remember to include little space beads, they really elevate your designs); chain nose & round nose pliers; wire cutters; beading mat.
