Happy Groundhog Day!

Well, looks like we’re in for another 6 weeks of winter. If it stays like it has been, it won’t be so bad! Still, you might be starting to get cabin fever and what better way to relieve that than by spending time at Caravan Beads! We just received a restock of our wire, and are expecting pearls any day now. Come on in and work on an old or new project. We’d love to see you! Look below for what classes we’ve got scheduled this weekend for you! Don’t forget about Valentines Day… We have everything you need to help you put together something special for your special someone! Our free lesson this weekend is our Fancy Wire Earrings and Necklace.

Don’t forget about Barb Switzer, our visiting artist and teacher who will be joing us the first weekend in March. Some of her classes are almost full. Don’t wait until it’s too late to sign up! For her bio, check out our highlight section. Or, you can just skip down below to see and purchase any of her special classes. We even have a few that wireworking beginners can take! Most of her classes will be held at our sister store, Briolette Beads in Forest Park. If you need transportation I will be providing a ride for you to and from her classes. Just let me know if you need it!

See you soon!
