Bead Parties!Want to have the artists of Triskelia Craftworks help you and your friends make your own beaded jewelry creations? Book a Bead Party! You provide the place and the friends, we provide the beads and expertise.Ideas for parties Pricing Book a party! What occasions would a Triskelia Bead Party be good for? Here are a few ideas we came up with: Rescue Me PartyIs your jewelry box overflowing with things you just can't or don't wear anymore? Let the artists of Triskelia Craftworks come to your rescue! We will help you fix or replace broken clasps or books, turn that favorite single earring into a beautiful necklace, or rework sentimental favorites into something you'll love to wear. Prices will vary depending on the project. Easy fixes can be accomplished at the party, and we will happily incorporate major reworkings into a special order for Jessica or Amanda to do later.Triskelia Treasure Trove TrunkshowAre you more interested in shopping than creating? Let us share the jewelry and other gifts that we make for local arts festivals and shops with you and your friends at your home or office.Mothers and Daughters (or Sons!)As we are all moms ourselves, we love to share our art with our kids. They've been stringing beads since before they turned 2! Making jewelry together can be a wonderful experience and our bead parties can be tailored to meet the needs of a variety of skill levels and attention spans. This is one activity that all ages will love!Desperate HousepartyIt's the perfect prescription for the suburban syndrome. You supply the cocktails and the raunchy conversation, we'll supply the beads. And it's not our fault if your jewelry ends up reflecting your wild side!Girls' Night In or Mommy's PlaydateJust need a break from the kids, the house, etc.? Can't find a single movie worth the admission price? Why not plan an afternoon or evening with your friends, chatting, snacking, playing with beads, and escaping the stresses of daily life? Best of all, you'll have a beautiful piece of jewelry to go with the memories!Bridal ShowersAs the big day approaches the last thing you need to do is worry about is something to do for your bridal shower! Let us conjure up a special selection of beads that will compliment the wedding attire; each member of the bridal party can design jewelry with her own unique flair. In addition, each guest can choose a bead for the bride, explaining why they chose it. The beads will then be worked into a bracelet as a keepsake for the bride.Theme PartiesYou name it, we can work with it! Design jewelry for the changing seasons, to support your favorite sports team, or to go with your Red Hat. Craft something to show how much you love birds, cats, dogs, flowers, motorcycles...or whatever! Alphabet beads are available for logos or sayings. Indulge in a thematic extravaganza of your own, and let our team of creative artists help you achieve it.Holiday Gift PartiesIs it that time again? Feeling a need to give all ten of your kids' favorite teachers lovely handmade gifts? With the creative assistance of the Triskelia artists, you can make beaded bookmarks, stamped tote bags, holiday necklaces, and other easy but thoughtful gifts without mess or fuss. Make it a holiday season to remember!Bead-day PartiesWhy not have a party where the guest of honor can make herself a birthday gift? Beading is a great activity for guests of all ages and interests and is a creative way for friends from different social circles to get to know one another.Back to top Party PricingWe charge for each project a party guest makes. Our base prices are:Necklace - $25 Long Necklace - $30 Bracelet - $22 Earrings - $18 Chandelier Earrings - $25 "Unconventional" ID lanyard - $30 Eyeglass holder - $30 Teen Prices (limited selection of beads): Necklace - $20 Bracelet - $18 Earrings - $15 Kid Prices (stretchy plastic cord, magnetic clasps, special selection of beads): Necklace - $10 Bracelet - $8 (w/clasp) $5 (w/o clasp) Earrings - $8 (nickel clip-on or pierced post) Group rates: Groups of 15 or more get $3 off each project! Prices are for single strand necklaces and bracelets made from a wide selection of finely-crafted beads in both man-made and natural materials - from resin to glass to semi-precious - on high quality 19 strand steel wire with metal spacers and clasps. Earrings are made with sterling silver posts and hooks unless otherwise noted. We find that sterling silver simply works better for earrings - it looks better and is preferable for sensitive ears. However, if you prefer, nickel posts and hooks can be provided for a $3 discount. "Built to Last" upgrade: For an additional $5 per project, materials can be upgraded to truly stand the test of time. This includes 49 strand professional grade steel wire (it is stronger and resists crimping better) and a selection of sterling silver, pewter, copper, and bronze spacers and clasps. Hostess Incentives: Incentives are based on the number of guests who attend, in addition to yourself. 4 guests - make a pair of earrings or a bracelet 6 guests - make a necklace 8 guests - make a necklace plus either earring or a bracelet 10 guests - make a full set - necklace, bracelet, and earrings If you book a party after attending someone else's party or if you book your second or third party, you get an upgrade to a higher incentive tier. For instance, if you have 8 guests at your second party, you would get to make a full set of jewelry for yourself. If you would prefer to play the role of hostess during the party, your incentives can be used as credit toward a special order or jewelry that we have already made.
