Clients can make their own necklace, bracelet or earrings!

If you walk into the English tea room any day, Monday through Friday, you might just be lucky enough to see Suzanne and a few of clients at St. Ann Center beneath the bright lamp light creating beautiful wearable art!

Jewelry making is one of the many activities offered to the clients of St. Ann Center Classes can be very exciting and are always a creative adventure! There are about 18 clients who take part in the jewelry making classes; though there is always room for more. The clients truly enjoy their time in class. They converse with one another and meet other clients they may not have met before. During each class the clients receive personalized attention and some one-on-one instruction time. They get to learn a new skill, socialize and get their creative energy going.

Suzanne Leberman is our wonderful and talented Jewelry instructor. She has been beading for over 22 years and owned her own bead shop in Oak Creek where she taught jewelry making classes for the general public. She makes her own glass beads, fused glass, and stained glass pieces. “Working with the clients is so rewarding,” says Suzanne, “They love to bead and they get so happy with their finished pieces. The joy in their eyes is pure and beautiful!”

The one hour jewelry classes are offered one day a week, Monday – Friday at 9:45 or 12:15.
