	1,000 Bead Pick Up While talking on the phone, you idly arrange your favorite beads on a beading mat. When you're finished, you are delighted with the formation of beads in front of you. What you see would make a wonderful bracelet without changing a thing—but how can you get the beads from your mat onto your wrist without disturbing the design? Learn how in this one-day workshop.
	Art Sticks: I'm Not an artist. I Can't Draw. I Can Only Draw Stick Figures We each perceive objects in our own way. Art Sticks is a workshop about seeing and then crafting what you see into a personal stick.

	Izzy and Lucy Bracelet The image on the monitor showed two beautiful little girls, Izzy and Lucy, playing in their backyard on a sunny California day,. The sunlight played with them as they laughed and whirled and turned and swirled unselfconsciously before a sensitive photographer's eye. These images stole my heart: my beadwork could not help but to follow.
	Multi-stitch Bracelet with Keshi Pearls Being in love with keshi pearls, NanC Meinhardt designed a bracelet that combines single peyote, two drop peyote and right-angle weave to showcase the pearls. An invisible closure adds to the cohesiveness of this piece. This workshop includes bead-by-bead directions, making your bracelet easy to accomplish. You may choose to make the Multi-stitch Bracelet with either size 11 or size 14/15 seed beads.
