Safire Rose’s full supply of beads includes glittering Swarovski crystals, strands of freshwater pearls ($5–$15), angelic crystal ($3.99–$7.99), black agate ($27.99), and seed beads that can be planted in soil to blossom into shimmering bead trees. After stocking up on supplies, take advantage of a complimentary class such as Basic Bead Stringing on August 12 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. or the Viking Knit Bracelet course on August 16 from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., which can help students accessorize wrists without having to pillage Grendel’s mother’s jewelry drawer.
