✨ Create, Learn & Cherish – Beginner Bracelet-Making Class
There’s something special about creating something with your own hands — especially when it carries a message close to your heart. In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn the essential skills of jewelry making, including:
- Crimping – securing your design so it lasts for years
- Stringing beads – arranging colors and textures beautifully
- Using bead caps – adding elegance and polish to your work
- Working with jump rings – connecting pieces with precision and strength
Even if you’ve never made jewelry before, you’ll be surprised at how much you’ll learn — and how confident you’ll feel — by the end of this session.
Your Finished Piece: The Psalms 23 Bracelet
When the class is over, you won’t just leave with new skills — you’ll leave with a beautiful, elegant bracelet inspired by
Psalms 23. Every bead and detail will serve as a reminder of God’s guidance, comfort, and care.
This isn’t just jewelry — it’s a keepsake. A piece you’ll treasure for years, wear with joy, and perhaps even pass down as a meaningful gift. Each time you glance at it, you’ll remember not only the scripture it represents but also the joy of creating it yourself.
:– Bring your own supplies and craft away my hookers and knitters! Sew away my stitch queens and my embroiderer empress’s. To those of us who know how to read (3dc,sc,3dc,4sc,sk,ch)or (pearl 28 and cast off) or to those of us who want to learn the art form that can take a wand and “poof” a sweater pops out we invite you by the fire to join us.
Vermillion Ohio is a few miles done the road and filled with quaint shops waiting for you to explore.
Rest is sometimes what we need the most. You can meditate by the water, walk in the sand, pray in the sanctuary, or take a nap in your room. At Edge of the Water Women’s Retreat we understand that you might need this time to just be at peace.
