Supplies

UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, our class prices include the supplies required to create a project. We strongly recommend that our students arrive at the store in advance of the class, in order to acquire their supplies ahead of time.

SOME OF OUR CLASSES DO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH A FEW BASIC MATERIALS * Basic materials usually consist of economy bead string, base metal wire and findings, and simple glass beads. These classes DO NOT INCLUDE stone beads, precious metal beads and findings, Swarovski crystals, silk beading thread, etc. Such items are available for purchase in our store. The variety of colours/styles available is limited.

Please ask our staff in advance of a class if you have any questions (or want recommendations) about the tools and/or materials you'll need to create a project that you will LOVE!

Some of our silversmithing classes require a toolkit returnable for a refund minus a $25 fee. The toolkit is returnable within 7 days of the last class.
