The Bead Parlor has a bevy of very creative monthly regular Instructors who have made The Bead Parlor their second home. Jean Hickok, Diane Faulk, Kathy Boeckman, Nancy Griffin, and Debbie Butcher. These gals have all helped make The Bead Parlor what it is today. A fun, interesting place to come in and learn all kinds of new techniques and stitches to add to your beading repertoire. They are also good friends of mine.

In addition to our regular Instructors, we have visiting Instructors, all of whom add a wide variety of excitement to the many class projects offered each month at The Bead Parlor.

Come in, call or email to sign up for classes ahead of time. Please allow 1/2 hour prior to class time for shopping at The Bead Parlor for supplies needed for the class. We do our best to start classes at the scheduled time.

Crystal Cluster Buster Jean Hickok - Instructor Saturday, August 10, 1:30 pm $20.00 class fee I own a lot of Jean's bangles, either ones she has given to me, some I purchased and/or "traded", or those I just plain stole from her. That is what happens when she makes such irresistable pieces. These are a couple of my favorites.
