| As our intrepid manager, Ashlea dabbles in a little bit of everything: crochet, wire-work, seed beading -- you name it, she's probably done it. She worked at one of our Houston stores for years before migrating to Austin, so she's a long-time Nomad and general jewelry expert! | |||
| Class Name: | Dates & Times: | Category: | |

| Astra generally sticks to wire-work and chainmail (though she's finally dipped her toe into the seed bead end of the pool), having had experience working for fine jewelers like Anthony Nak. She feels those materials are more "forgiving" than seed-beading, since it's generally a little easier to fix your mistakes! | |||
| Class Name: | Dates & Times: | Category: | |
| Catie's Bracelet (NEW!) | Monday, March 19: 6 pm - 9 pm | Seed Bead Work | |
| Beth was a quilter before she got into seed-beading, but many of the principles are the same. She's one of our regular "Bead Ladies," and we figured we might as well rope her into teaching occasionally, since she probably knows more than many of our own instructors! | |||

While she dabbles in crochet and knotting work, metals and wire seem to be her preferred medium, and she's constantly coming up with new ways to bend them to her will! The best part is, she can show you how to do that, too! | |||

| Kim regularly teaches Beginning Jewelry Assembly, in which she describes herself as a "drill sergeant" of beading (but a very nice one!) She's also our resident knotting expert, and knows a heck of a lot about wire-work, too. In fact, there isn't a whole lot she doesn't know, having been here at Nomadic the longest. We were lucky enough to catch Kim in a rare photo, because like the birds she studies, she's a bit camera-shy! | |||
