Classes

From beginning basics to innovative freeform techniques, I offer fun and inspiring beadweaving and fiber art classes. I have a friendly, supportive teaching style that encourages participants to bead fearlessly. Shown here are samples from some of my most popular classes. I teach regularly at Fusion Beads in Seattle, Washington, and at national shows and other venues (see below). For a current schedule of my classes at Fusion Beads and registration information, please call the shop at 206-782-4595.

If you would like to schedule a class outside the Seattle area, either privately or through a bead shop or other venue, please contact me: tina@tinakoyama.com.

Kits are available for some of my class projects. Please e-mail me to inquire: tina@tinakoyama.com.
