A chic look fierce enough for the beach jungle!

Explore your tribal instincts and bring out the Jane in you. Mix in some wild tribal beads and you've got a bracelet that would make Tarzan beat on his chest and cry out loud, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! In this class, taught by Pattie Phipps, you will learn to construct hollow form beads along with unusual toggle clasps.

Skill Level: Advanced level class.
Prerequisite: Intermediate or Advanced level classes.
