Leslee Frumin, a bead and metal artist from San Juan Capistrano, California teaches off

loom bead weaving and metal/jewelry techniques. Leslee has published and won awards

in both areas and her work has been featured in trade magazines in the US and abroad.

She loves to teach. Her goal as a teacher is to create a fun and successful learning

experience. Her passion for all the colors and textures made possible by beads, metals

and stones keep her excited. If Leslee could add another 24 hours to a day to work on

designs, she would be thrilled. Leslee got her start in Michigan. In 1986, she started

taking metal work classes at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center. In the early ‘90s she

started stringing beads. She attended her first GLBG meeting in about 1994. Leslee has

been grateful to GLBG for helping her hone her beading skills by providing so many

opportunities to learn from fantastic artists. Leslee is excited to return” home” albeit by

zoom to teach her new designs!

About the Event - Friday, February 28th, 2025 - Queen of Diamonds Necklace and Las Ventanas Bracelet

The necklace and bracelet use the same component setting but are arranged

differently. Queen of Diamonds Necklace features 4 settings that are turned to a 45

degree angle giving the diamond shape. It has a unique chain that fits comfortably

around the neck. Las Ventanas is a bracelet that has the settings sitting squarely next to

each other giving the appearance of windows. Both pieces are stunning. Queen of

Diamond Earrings kits are available for students, who wish to add beautiful earrings to

their wardrobe. Stitches: Peyote, Ndebele and the Neck chain are unique stitches. This

is an intermediate to advanced level project. There are 8 kit color choices (see below).

Kits for the bracelet are $76 and the necklace kits are $78. There is one mailing fee

regardless of how many kits you order. Choose one or both. Plan to work on one kit in

class. Kits include all materials to complete the project. Students supply their own

Fireline 6 lb.

There is a pre-work assignment that makes it possible to accomplish more in class. The

focus in class will be on making connections, the clasp and chain. There is a video to

assist you. There is also an optional kit you can order: Earrings $40
