Create a bead and macrame bracelet or necklace with colorful beads and cords of your choice. You can design a contemporary and stylish piece with an outfit in mind, or a special person. We will discuss basic tricks, tools, necessities and processes you’ll need to create your first masterpiece, as well as others on your own at home. Note: After you register, the instructor will contact you regarding the bead and charm options that she will order for each student. You will need to pay the instructor for their supplies in class ($15-30).
Helene Buchler has a masters in counseling from New York University, and has used her skills as a counselor/therapist in a variety of mental health and corporate settings. In more recent years Helene has stepped out of her comfort zone as part of her own self exploration. She adopted a horse and learned to ride, jump, and hunt, began painting and beading, and is learning conversational Hebrew. Helene has found these activities to be incredibly relaxing and therapeutic, and a great way to connect with others. Her upbeat style also enables her to make others smile.Through beading Helene works with others to share the therapeutic benefits. She provides a springboard and empowers you to create a product that you will love for yourself or as a gift.
