Take a break from the busy world and come to Sweetwater for a girls’ night out! Spend some time with friends creating beautiful art projects in a fun and relaxing environment. Let your creative side loose at this opportunity to socialize with the girls. Feel free to bring wine and snacks!

Join in the fun as we create our own beads. Inspired by the women of Uganda who make and sell paper beads from recycled papers, we will use a variety of materials such as magazines, patterned papers and even color our own papers . We will roll our beads and use a shellac finish for more permanency. There are endless possibilities to create your one-of-a-kind bracelets or necklaces using this technique. Make jewelry to match one of your outfits or create a unique gift for a friend. Materials fee included in the tuition.

• This class will be held at Sweetwater's North Campus, located at Curves for Women, 2612 Nicholson Road, Suite 2100, Sewickley, PA 15143.
