I can complete the beading for a custom order within 1-2 days.  If I have the supplies on hand, custom order can be shipped within 2 days.  If I have to order supplies, it can take up to 4 weeks depending on how quickly I receive the materials from my suppliers.  I do have a large inventory of supplies on hand in order to quickly fill orders, but if you are placing a custom order for a specific event, such as a wedding, it would be best to inquire about the order 1 month in advance.

Yes, absolutely.  Just let me know which length you woud prefer when you purchase any item through Etsy and I will custom size it for you.  Unless otherwise specified in the listing, resizing is done free of charge for all items.

Pewter is one of my favorite materials to work with for several reasons:

• I love its antiqued silver finish and the density of each bead, bead cap or finding
  
• It is less expensive than sterling silver so it allows me to keep my costs reasonable and pass the savings on to you
• Most importantly, it does not tarnish like silver does; based on my experience, I find that it holds its color for far longer and rarely requires polishing

No, all pewter is both lead and nickel free.

Although there is a recommended minimum of 4 people for each workshop, if you already have a workshop scheduled and someone cancels, you can still hold the party.  

Please contact me if you are interested in holding a large party.  It is possible, but if you have a party with more than 8 people, I may need to bring an additional instructor with me which could impact the flat fee per person for the workshop.  

Please contact me.  In most cases, you can still host a beading party workshop but there may be a small fee to cover additional mileage.

Depending on the number of attendees and the skill level of the group, 1-2 pieces of jewelry can be completed in a 2 hour workshop. 

I do not have earrings included as an option for the beading party workshops because many people struggle with the wire wrapping required to finish most earrings.  You can make matching earrings to complete your set as part of the workshop, but please contact me to discuss the best approach.

The material fee for earrings will range from $6-$10 per person, depending on the materials required. This includes .925 Sterling Silver Earwires and Headpins.

This "party" is very different.  It is a combination of learning and fun!  It is a hands-on workshop where each attendee makes their own jewelry while learning some great techniques and beading skills so they can continue making jewelry on their own after the event. 

Since we meet in the privacy of your home, it is far from a classroom-like environment.  You can turn the workshop into a very fun event with various party themes, the most common being wine and appetizers. 

At the end of the night, you and your guests leave with a piece of jewelry that they created.  The only cost is the flat fee to attend the workshop and the cost of materials.  There is never pressure to buy anything.  

I like to think my beading party workshops combine the best of both worlds- beautiful jewelry and a fun night with your friends, with the added bonus of learning some valuable jewelry making skills!
