Jewelry From the Desert

Join professional teaching artist Shari Keith from Phoenix, Arizona to create unique jewelry from the woody parts of the Saguaro and Cholla cactus. All the beads, chain, findings, wire, and cactus pieces needed for the project will be provided by the artist and are included in the cost for the class. You will appreciate the beauty of these small pieces of the desert as you employ simple wire-working and sanding techniques to complete a necklace or earrings. No previous jewelry-making experience is necessary. Ages 13 and up.

Shari Keith holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and a Master’s degree in Education. She has been working as a professional teaching artist for almost 20 years. Her own work has been featured in numerous art galleries and she travels extensively to present hands-on workshops to participants of all ages.
