Recent reviews of Boho Knotted Jewelry Workshop

  • 4/5 from Michele Glover, attended Jun 2026: Lots of bead options but many of the beads had too small of holes to work with. Teacher was available to answer questions, but maybe some more hints on how to get the knot closer to the beads, how to tie off, and pre-instructions on how much length to leave behind
  • 5/5 from Nancy Yamada, attended Mar 2026: Made this beaded necklace that can also be used as a triple wrap bracelet. I love dual purpose items… Janet provided all the materials -beads, cording, clasp, jump rings, etc. She has a huge selection of beads. We had a choice of using waxed cord or S-Lon nylon thread. Many different colors to choose from of those as well. I always enjoy learning a new craft. Janet is a wonderful instructor. A great way to spend the afternoon in Alameda. Will be back.
  • 5/5 from Olga Crowe, attended Mar 2026: Excellent class with Janet, as always! Janet is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and very creative. Learning new techniques with her is always fun!
  • 5/5 from Marlene Mujica-Fill, attended Feb 2026: The instructor was extremely knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. She had a huge selection of materials we could use & was also very generous with her time. I’d highly recommend learning jewelry making with her. It was really fun! :)
  • 5/5 from Adriana Sorrentino, attended Feb 2026: I loved this class, it was very entertaining and fun! I made a terracotta palette necklace/bracelet that I absolutely love especially knowing that it has my own unique design. Thank you Janet for making it so easy to create!

Janet Kornegay has been a maker and teacher her entire life. Growing up in a family where creating art and DIY projects was the norm, she developed a lifelong passion for hands-on making. Trained as a scientist, Janet has taught science at every level -- from elementary school to graduate programs -- starting when she was still in high school. She recently retired after 25 years in biotech.
Janet is the founder of Make Happy Art Studio and has been teaching jewelry making and mixed media workshops since 2015. Her classes cover torch-fired enameling, fused fine silver, wire and beaded jewelry, and mixed metal assemblage using cold connections. She has also led mixed media workshops, including altered tins (pocket ofrendas) and gelli printing.
There’s no craft Janet isn’t excited to try, and she continually seeks new techniques and media to bring into her classes.
