Ever wanted to try your hand at jewelry design?

With a good feel for balance and color you can learn to create a beautiful one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry at a fraction of the retail purchase price.

The class will begin with a discussion of the tools, wire, stones, and patterns, and move on to the planning and design phase, and in a single evening you’ll complete a beautiful bracelet to take home and wear. Jewelry making is normally an expensive “let’s give this a try” hobby, but in this course, all tools and supplies are provided.

All you need is a little creative spark!

Individualized step-by-step instruction will be provided by nationally acclaimed jewelry designer Mary Beth Hile and seating will be limited so that all participants will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with the instructor. Appropriate for all skill levels, this one night class is May 12 at the University of West Georgia’s Newnan Center.

Examples of Hile’s work can be seen at her website http://stoneleaf1.tripod.com.
