Please note that not ALL classes include your supplies in the cost of tuition. For those that do not, supply lists are provided for you in the store.

 

Why Take a Class?

1. First and foremost, classes are a good way to learn a new skill in an encouraging, creative environment. Our teachers love what they do and want you to love doing it too.
2. Students receive a 10% discount on store merchandise related to their class during store hours. (Some restrictions may apply.)
3. Students who take classes regularly are eligible to receive frequent-beader coupons good for discounts on selected classes.
4. We’re excited about our student’s work and want others to see it. We are constructing a page on our website dedicated to showcasing student projects and posting testimonials. This enables family and friends to see what students have learned, and it also allows prospective students to see how others have liked their class experience.
5. Class tuition counts towards the Bead Club Cards. Cards that are full may be redeemed for store credit. Please see a staff member for details.

 

Class Policies

1. Students must register and pay for classes in advance. We cannot hold seats without payment.
2. Students who miss class due to illness, family matters, etc. may choose to apply their tuition to another class of their choice or store merchandise. We do not provide refunds.
3. Please be on time to your class. Have any supplies not included in your tuition already purchased and with you by the time class starts. Class time does not include shopping for supplies.
4. We ask that you purchase your class supplies in our store unless your class supply list notes otherwise. Outside beads will not be permitted.

 

A Note of Thanks

As a family-owned business, we appreciate your patronage and loyalty. We’re proud to be Cary’s favorite place to make jewelry and strive to make sure our customers feel welcome and comfortable. We hope you’ll feel at home in our shop and at ease with our staff. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your experience with us a more enjoyable one. We have a suggestion box up by the register—feel free to drop comments, questions, or proposals inside. See a class you’d like to take and the date has already passed? Let us know and we just may run it again. See something in a magazine or book you’d like to learn how to make? Tell us and we’ll see if it’s something that might work as a class project. We’re always open to new ideas and want to do what it takes to keep you coming back.

 

Project Colors

The class samples are meant to be an illustration of the technique you will learn in each class; they are not intended to be examples of the colors you will use. Students in each class will have different color palettes that may or may not be a reflection of colors used in the sample. If you have a strong preference for one color over another, please alert the staff at least 24 hours prior to when your class starts. We will make every effort to accommodate your request; we cannot, however, guarantee that we will have your color choice in stock.
