March 2015-May 2015: Class Listings
Greetings Beady-Eyed Customers,
Fandangle is off and running with another quarter of great classes, including a number of new design classes,
new stitching/bead weaving classes, and as always, encore performances of our tried and true technique classes. You'll
also find that since the last quarter, we have added thousands of dollars of beads and beading materials to our 50% off
sales tables including beading books, strands of Czech glass beads, freshwater pearls, semi-precious strands, naturals,
metal working tools and patinas, loose beads, base metal findings and resin materials. You name it, you'll find it on the
sale tables. Once these items are gone, they're gone forever. Remember: Early bird gets the bead! We're headed to the
Bead Expo in Santa Fe, NM, and hope to find treasures to ship back home--stay tuned!

Yes, you CAN bead--and yes, it's going to be fun! Basic beading class is our 2-hour introductory beading class designed for
students who have never beaded. It is the perfect class for people who think they're "not creative" (at Fandangle Bead Store we
believe everyone is creative and we'll prove it to you!). In this beginner level class you will learn a simple wire-wrapping
technique (a must for making your own focal pendants, earrings and charm bracelets), the ABC's of bead stringing and all the
information you need to explore your inner bead diva! Students will complete a simple necklace and earring ensemble during
this 2-hour class. This is a technique class only (ie., not a design class). The $35 fee includes everything you need for the class.
Basic bead classes are our most popular class and tend to fill up 7-10 days ahead of time, so call to register early if you have a
special date in mind. We can also reserve this class as an event for your special group, ages l4 years and older—call the shop to
reserve your special date in advance.
