Once you learn this basic technique, you can be even more creative with your beads and embellishments to make personal signature jewelry.
Your instructor will also explain how to make crochet wire earrings, but there may not be enough time to make the earrings during the workshop. You will have enough materials to make the earrings on your own after the workshop. Margret Zaiser Bamford is inspired by the exquisite and color-rich dress of indigenous peoples of Central and South America and Africa, and by the fascinating cultural aspects of her international travel. Her passion is weaving and the fiber arts, as well as jewelry making where she specializes in crochet wire necklaces. Margret is on the boards of the Fiber Artists of San Antonio and the San Antonio Handweavers Guild.
