Beginner - This is the prerequisite class to the Advanced Kumihimo class.  You will learn how to do the basic braiding and finishing. You will be using either 1mm or 2mm satin cord. I usually start with the 2mm because it's just easier to understand the process. 

Class fee: $50.00 includes cord.

Time: 1.5 - 2 hours.

Intermediate - Advanced.  This is a continuation of the kumihimo beginner class.  You must know how to do basic kumihimo braiding as a prerequisite for this class.  You will learn how to add beads to your braiding. I wish I had a class like this when I was learning. It's a bit tricky but once you get it down it goes pretty fast.  Kits will be made up and you choose one in class.  Everyone will be using black matte seed beads and Swarovski or Presciosa crystals. You won't have time to finish in class but I will have one prepared to show you how to finish the ends. A very special clasp exclusive to Just Bead It will be used.

Class fee:  $65.00 includes kit.

Class time: 2 hours. You may have to finish at home because it usually takes about 3-4 hours to complete. 

Beginner - So many variations you can do with this technique. There will be kits to choose from and they will be round or rondelles or squares. Whatever I have in stock at the time. A true vintage button for clasp will be used.

Class fee:  $50.00 includes kit.

Time:  1 to 1.5 hours

Class time: About 1-1.5 hours.

Beginner  - These are just gorgeous when you get them in your window! There are 106 crystals in one. They're a little trickier than they look. Still very easy though. Somewhat time consuming. Once you get a feel for adding crystals to the jump rings it will speed up.

You will be called once we have enough people for a class. We will see if the date we have reserved will work for you. If it does, you will be called the week before class and payment will be taken at that time. No exceptions. No shows will not be refunded. Our teachers need to schedule and will be there so if you don't show it's on you. Sorry but we have been burned too many times.
