Attach a golden string for a hanger, and you’re ready to display your creation!
Jewelry Making Class, Earrings. Thursday September 23rd: I’ve had a number of requests for a repeat of this class. We will be making earrings using a French hook wire. These will be simple dangle-style pieces. You will place beads on a pre-cut wire, then I will use my jewelry tools to attach the beaded wire to the French hook. Remember that these creations make great gifts; get a jump-start on your Christmas shopping!
Make, Take, & Bake, Wednesday September 29th: This class was a big hit last time I had it! We will be making an 8 X 8 pan of Apple Crisp in this class. You will make it here, then take it home to bake it. This is a simple recipe you can make again using different fruit if you’d like. I will have the aluminum pans and all of the ingredients.
PLEASE BRING A CUTTING BOARD, PEELER, AND SHARP KNIFE TO CLASS.

Learning Through Documentaries, Thursday October 28th: This month’s documentary is entitled Beyond the Elements: Indestructible.

Host David Pogue explores the fantastic chemistry behind the everyday.” The program will be followed by a period of interactive conversation.
