Jeanne's upcoming teaching gig in Puerto Vallarta

If you happen to be in Puerto Vallarta the first week of March this year, you’re invited to my beading class at the International Friendship Club. Don ‘t worry, it will be in English. This is how I’m earning a few pesos, to subsidize beads and projects with some Mexican students, maestras and friends who have less discretionary income.

The IFC promo follows:

“All you dog- and cat-lovers will be delighted! Artist Jeanne Leffingwell returns to the IFC to teach a 2-session beading class. This time she will bring all the supplies needed* for you to make a dog or cat collar for a beloved mascota. Choose from Jeanne’s designs, or make up your own.


The first week she’ll get you started - no experience necessary - and the second week you’ll learn how to finish and attach your beadwork onto the collar. If you prefer, you can make a bracelet or anklet, for yourself and/or friends. (No pet necessary.)

You should plan to spend some time on your project in-between sessions.

Jeanne will also have beads and looms available for purchase.




Cost: 500 pesos both days (a few pesos more if your dog has a HUGE neck)

Thursdays, March 1 & 8, 2012

1:30-3:30 p.m.

* Not included is the collar to attach your beading to. Any good quality leather, or nylon webbing base will work, in a size to fit your pet. These are easily purchased in Vallarta.
