March 2010:

New Class!

Lucky Charms: Celtic Knot Earrings and Pendants, Saturday March 13, 2010, 1:00 – 3:00 pm. ($45)

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this year by learning the tricks and treats of creating your own lucky charms—Celtic knot earrings and pendants using wire and beads. In this class you will learn how to create a variation of the decorative “Carrick bend” knot. This strong knot was used by sailors, but it can also be found as a design motif at Ormonde Castle in Ireland. First you will practice making your knot with dyed hemp cord, then you will translate what you learn to wire and beads in order to make a pair of earrings or a pendant. Cord, wire and beads will be provided.
