Thornburg Bead Studio
New for 2009:
Free Demos at the shows!!

I got a little tired from being away from my booth
while I was teaching classes at the shows. So this
year I'll be at the booth more, But if you want to
see a Free Demonstration on
Basic Wire Working,
come on by and ask! I can show you how to make
the basic loop for earrings, spirals, connecting
links, quick and easy wire rings, even the byzantine
chain technique. I can also make jewelry for you
while you wait. I'll still have instructions for sale for
$5 each, if you need them.















Here's what some past students have had to say....


Caitlyn:
Hi Nikki!  I met you in Wilmington at David's hair studio.  Just wanted to say thanks again for the quick
lesson and my beautiful ring.  People grab my hand all the time and tell me how cool it is, everyone
loves it!  I recently bought some tools, wire and beads from a shop downtown and I'm gonna get
practicing!  

Cheryll:
I had such a good time in your class and since then, I've been very anxious to get started making
jewelry.

Pam:
I just wanted to stress the great time I had in both the ring & byzantine class. How refreshing to be in
the company of such friendly and mutually intrigued ladies, not to mention the superb instruction we
had. You know, not every artisan  can "teach" their craft.  I always lag behind everyone else in these
classes. But, true to the mark of a good teacher you not only exercised a lot of patience, you seem to
have a knack for sensing frustration and putting us at ease while conveying a "I can do this! " attitude.


Caron:

Nikki I took your class this weekend at delaware tech bead show i did the chain and i just wanted to
thank you. you are a terrific teacher. I am still working on the bracelet but its looking good and i am
so proud of it.. Thanks again
