Description

Inspired by Johannes Vermeer’s iconic painting Girl With A Pearl Earring, you will learn about the artist, his style, and his work.  We will discuss the basics of pearls, what to look for and how to take care of them. You will learn how to identify sterling silver and how to care for it. You get to choose which set of earrings and necklace that you want to make: diamonds or circles.

Then you too, can be the Girl with a Pearl Earring!
