Jewelry, Stories & New Perspectives: A Creative Gathering for Women
These intimate workshops are not designed to be classes in which the goal is to produce a perfectly made earring or bracelet. Rather, they are a place for people of all artistic inclinations and experience to experiment with making something just for fun.
I supply a range of different types of beads, including glass, metal, gemstone, and resin.
Some beads are small and sophisticated, while others are large and colorful.
I provide options for ear wires, ear studs, and clasps for your creations.
Many of the materials are lightweight so large earrings won’t pull on your ears.
If you have any special requests, let me know when you sign up, and I will do my best to bring them.
At the workshop, you will get to connect with others in a relaxed, judgment-free space.
Whether you're experienced or have never made jewelry before, you'll leave with unique pieces,
fresh creative insights, and new connections.
Want something tailored to a small gathering you are having or a get-together with some friends?
Please contact me below to work out the particulars.
All materials and guidance provided.
Bring your curiosity and openness to seeing things differently.

Participant Comments
"I don’t consider myself a “crafty” person, but I truly enjoyed Alison’s jewelry making workshop!
She was patient and generous with explanations, a range of shared materials, and direct help
as I put together both a bracelet and a cute bead attachment for my backpack.
I love them and enjoyed the session. I’d definitely attend a workshop with Alison again!"

"Alison’s jewelry making workshop was so much fun! She brought a range of interesting and
beautiful materials for us to choose from, and guided us in making unique bracelets and
other pieces while also guiding us in conversations going past “small talk,” which I really
appreciated. It was a rewarding experience of both creativity and connection,
and I’d definitely attend another one!"
