Looking for a fun party plan to celebrate your little princess’ birthday or special celebration? Jewelry parties are a creative and exciting idea for all ages! I bring everything to you, all you need to supply is a table, and some eager beaders!

If you would like to inquire about kids’ jewelry parties for Guelph and other areas in Southern Ontario, e-mail me and I will get right back to you! I also do parties for grown-ups too! Let me know how I can help

Get a jump-start on your spring wardrobe by learning how to make beautiful jewelry. It’s EASY and FUN! If you’re in the Guelph area and want to learn to make jewelry, read on.

I’ve got over 15 years of experience making jewelry, and I would love to teach you what I know. My students say I am patient and conscientious and I love teaching others how to make beautiful wearable works of art!

If you would like to take a class with me, send me an e-mail and I will get back to you with specifics. In a nutshell:

Location: My home studio, South end of Guelph
Length of class:  2.5 hours
Cost: $45.00 includes all supplies, and you will leave with several finished projects!
What you’ll learn: Clasp attachment, forming loops, wire wrapping and other techniques as needed/required.

Come out and have a great evening with friends, or make new ones in my class.

To contact me, e-mail me at: cat@catcancook.com – Hope to hear from you!

It’s been a long time but I’m back! I’ve been so busy with my cookbook sales and of course Christmas, but now that the dust is starting to settle, I really wanted to update my poor neglected Cat Can Bead site. I promise to update here much more often once again!

My most recent jewellery projects have been custom family necklaces. I’ve now made many of these for my friends, but would love to start making them for everyone. What a beautiful way to carry your loved ones with you everywhere, and just like the families they represent, no two are exactly alike!

The pendants are sterling silver, and the “birthstones” are Swarovski Crystals. I also add charms to personalize them – they really are very beautiful! I wear mine a lot and I always get compliments (and orders too!)

The pendants sell for $15 (which includes 4 family “birthstones” in the colours of your choice) Each extra birthstone charm is $1.00

If you would like to order one, just e-mail me, and I will have it done within a day or two!

I’ve been neglecting my blogs a little bit lately as I prepare my cook book for print! Yup, it’s all coming together and with any luck, it will be available by Halloween! I am getting very excited about it too!

At any rate, I just wanted to post a few pictures of some recent work and commissions I have done! As always, feel free to drop my a line with your beading and jewellery-related questions, or if you’d like to comment, I’d love to hear what you have to say

Feel free to join my Facebook group too, and check out the latest creations! See you at Catherine Robertson Designs!
