Slow down and make something shimmering in this relaxing mother-of-pearl shell jewelry-making workshop. In this class, you can make a necklace, a ring, a pin, a charm, a hair band, a brooch, and more! No experience is needed, just a little patience and a love of color. You’ll build a piece of art from hundreds of tiny shells, and watching it come together is half the fun.
Here’s how your session goes:
  • Choose your base and colors: Browse a large selection of colorful mother-of-pearl, then smash your favorites into smaller pieces with a mortar and pestle for an even better result.
  • Add the shells to your base: Plan your colors any way you like and carefully arrange the shells with tweezers.
  • Use UV light and the UV oven: A UV light helps while you arrange your shells. Then your piece spends just one minute in the UV oven, and hundreds of tiny shells turn into one beautiful, whole creation.
Every design is completely your own, with no right or wrong way to arrange your colors. Great as a gift for Mom, a bachelorette party idea, or a fun outing with friends, you'll leave this class with a unique piece of jewlery made just for you!

Leyah Li

female Women-owned

I majored in art and design as an undergraduate, and in art therapy and education in graduate school. I then became an art therapist for a brief moment before spending most of my time raising two daughters and one son. But I have never stopped making things.
Soon, I had an Etsy shop making sock puppets in the early Etsy years and was featured a few times on their front page. I also did business etiquette coaching and culture/language teaching part-time while raising my children.
I ran a small letterpress studio for three years in Beijing when my girls were younger. With my talented friends, we would do workshops in my studio, including tassel making, flower arrangement, book binding, etc.
My little studio was recognized by so many and was on national TV and in newspapers. Now my daughters are old enough for college and I am starting this new studio for myself because I still want to make things, and I want to make things together with friends old and new. I am creating a space for friends to spend time together and enjoy colors, textures and stories.
