Jewelry Making Workshop

Join artist and creative facilitator Joy Joshua for a hands-on Jewelry Making Experience designed for all skill levels — from curious beginners to seasoned creatives. At the heart of this experience is the Bead Buffet Bar — a vibrant, abundant spread of high-quality beads including:

• Natural gemstones
• Handcrafted ceramic beads
• Glass beads in rich textures and finishes
• Earthy wood beads
• Unique statement accents

This is not your average craft table.

Participants will learn foundational jewelry-making techniques while having the freedom to design pieces that truly reflect their personal style. You’ll choose what you want to create — whether that’s a bracelet stack, a necklace, earrings, anklets, or a full coordinated set.

This workshop blends:

• Technique + Creative Freedom
• Quality Materials + Artistic Expression
• Community + Personal Style

You’ll leave with beautiful, handcrafted jewelry — and the confidence to keep creating.

All materials are included. Come ready to design something uniquely yours.

All materials will be provided. Come ready to learn, laugh, and spend time together learning a new craft.
