2 Classes for Your 3 Day Weekend

We've been working hard all week to put the finishing touches on 2 new classes and they are ready just in time for your three day weekend (hopefully you don't have to go to work on Monday)!

Are you a seed bead fanatic in need of an inspiring project? Check out Laura McCabe's new class, Bag It, exclusively designed for Beaducation. This embellished leather pouch is so beautiful that you'll want to make two; you'll have a hard time giving it away as a gift.







Is wire what you're crazy about? You'll want to take Iris Sandkühler's new Unsupported Viking Knit 1: Rope Bracelet class. This "knitted" bracelet is flexible and comfortable on the wrist. Iris's signature technique also allows for easy embellishment so you personalize your latest project with your favorite beads.

Moving forward with the lower case font sets

We are moving forward with the lowercase font sets and the price is going to be MUCH better than the original $275 we were originally thinking. I can't mention the price yet but believe me, I have been researching and researching and have spoken to almost 20 steel marking companies to find the best quality for the right price. The more we initially buy, the lower the price so we have been tossing money under the beaducation mattress, saving to purchase a LARGE quantity to get the best price to pass it on to you!

So now, we are obsessing on fonts. In fact, I am creating my own font.....truly a beaducation original. So I would love your input on what kind of font most of you are interested in. Please vote on the new poll to the left.

thanks!!!
Lisa

PS- the final result of the a last poll (would you pay around $250 for an interesting lowercase letter font set) was;

117 folks said YES
129 said NO

that is a very small sampling of our very large customer base, so what the heck, we are goin' for it and getting them made!

New class listing page and LOTS of new classes coming soon

We just finished reformatting our class listing page where you can find all our online video jewelry making classes here at beaducation. Now you can sort by technique, instructor, skill level or price. You will find all those options on the left nav. bar. Please let us know if you have any user problems with this page as it is new and we are still workin' out the kinks.

May I suggest clicking the "status" button to "coming soon"....check out the NINE classes we are working on to launch within the next few months. AND we are headed into the shootio next week to shoot "Intro to Riveting" and "Intro to Soldering" with Kate Richbourg.

stay tunes.....
