Educational and Fun - I am skilled at jewelry making so was surprised to learn a new way of making a tied bracelet. A novice will enjoy making their own piece easily, or you can choose something more challenging, as was my case. With skill and a bit of humor the crafters guided me in creating a personalized work of art, one I wear with pride! Additionally, there were a variety of beautiful pieces to purchase which helps keep the program sustainable.
