With a new year coming up, many jewelry makers start to think of tackling new projects and new techniques. My free e-courses (right now I have 4) will help get you jump started.

First, there's "Bead Stringing for Beginners," for those who want to learn the basics of making beaded jewelry. This is the perfect place for those new to jewelry making to start.

Once you’ve got bead stringing under your belt, I suggest my “Bead Knotting for Beginners” class. This class builds on the first class and teaches how to knot between your beads to acquire a more professional finish to your jewelry.

Speaking of being a jewelry professional, have you thought about starting a jewelry business, but weren’t sure where to begin? My 14 week course called “How to Start a Jewelry Business” has loads of information broken up into bite sized pieces to help you along your jewelry business journey.

Finally, for those who don’t want a heavy class curriculum but are still interested in learning some fun jewelry techniques, there’s my “Chandelier Earrings” class. It’s just 4 weeks long, and you’ll find yourself making earrings in no time.

I have plans for more e-courses coming up during 2006, so keep an eye out for new courses in the future.
