Overview

This class gives the students a hands-on experience that will teach them the skills needed for jewelry making. We will use wire, beads, resin, and natural found elements in the pieces. Using simple jewelry tools students will learn wire wrapping, glass fusing, and more to create necklaces, bracelets, pendants and earrings. We will also construct a Jewelry box, to hold all of our new creations! Students will enjoy wearing their own designs and can make gifts for their family and friends as well. So come, design and create your own one of a kind treasures to add to YOUR Jewelry Box!

Additional Information

Our Visual Arts classes do not require any type of assessment or portfolio to get into the program. Instructors will work with your child at the level that they are at. Your child will improve and learn new skills whether they are a beginner or have been an artist for years.

Mimi Caranci gained her inspiration and love for art at a very early age from her grandfather who was himself, an artist of many forms. The gift he gave her resulted in her love for photography, visual arts and jewelry making. Finding her most natural expression through art has been a formative journey that continues to grow. She finds special joy in teaching young ones how to express themselves through many forms of art!
