Beading, an activity chosen to fill time while caring for her elderly parents 10 years ago, became an obsession for Deb. More recently, she expanded her repretoire to making metal chains when the store needed a chain maille instructor. She teaches a variety of traditional chain weaves as well as her own designs.
If you want to learn a weave not listed , contact Deb 21 days prior to class with your request. If the weave pattern is commonly available and you sign up and pay for a class, instructions will be created and the class will be given.
Deb also teaches a basic class in photgraphing jewelry and a class for making charms and pendants with resin.
Byzantine Bracelet, Box and Two-in-Two
Beginners like to learn this weave because it looks hard but isn't. Knowledge of two other weaves comes natuarlly out of learning Byzantine: Box Chain and Two-in-Two. Learn all three in this class.

Double Spiral Rope Bracelet
This weave works well as a necklace as well as a bracelet. It's good for a first or second beginning project.

Chain Wrapped Cabochon
