Come learn old-school pearl stringing with Nikki. You will leave here learning how to string pearls on silk, using bullion on the end of your thread and tying off in the strand. This method is the old school way, where you don’t have to worry about a bead cap popping open. You can transfer this skill to small beads and gemstones and anything else that has a regular sized hole throughout the strand.

You will go home with a small tool kit* and we will be using inexpensive beads to learn, please don’t bring something nice to string on your first try!

*includes pearls, French wire, snips, needle, tweezers, adhesive and jump rings
