In this workshop, jewelry designer Alix Bluh will show you a simple crochet stitch for beading that offers endless options for customization by using different thread and bead combinations. You’ll also learn how to create different style clasps, and incorporate leather for a less time-intensive project that achieves the same sophisticated look. The fundamentals that you’ll learn in this class can be endlessly adapted to achieve different looks depending on the color thread and gems you chose.
Note: In this class, Alix uses an unconventional crocheted chain stitch to create the foundation chain for her jewelry. While this nontraditional stitch works fine for this class, new crocheters may be interested in learning how to work a traditional chain stitch. Watch Edie Eckman's class on this topic here.

I like Alix's creativity and the pace of the class! I've crocheted beaded necklaces before that just slipped over the head but enjoyed learning the different closures (love the leather strip closure!). I also appreciated the detail of the stamped charms. All in all a fun and educational class that even a beginner could accomplish thanks to Alix's patience.

I am a newbie to jewelry making but I think I could do one of these, at least without the charms :)
