Learn to bead like a pro at PCC
Photos and Story by James Hill
Basic beading is easier than you might think; it requires only a needle, thread and beads and a little bit of creativity. This winter, Portland Community College will offer a one-day class designed to get you started in the basics of beading and to give you plenty of ideas for future projects.
In the course, Jewelry Making: Basic Beading Techniques, students will learn basic skills needed to create necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. In this hands-on class, instructor Bridget Benton will show you how to create your own jewelry. Take home one necklace and bracelet and matching earrings while learning techniques needed to keep your beading enthusiasm going.
The non-credit class will meet from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 23, Room 127, of Tabor Hall at the PCC Southeast Center, 2305 S.E. 82nd Ave. Cost is $34. For more information, contact the PCC Community Education office at (503) 788-6265.
