The Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences is teaming up with Elizabeth Tokoly, jeweler and owner of EatMetal, for a day of “Beautiful Bracelets.” Two bracelet-making workshops will be held at the Foundation in Loveladies on Saturday, April 11.

“Elizabeth is formally trained and an expert on all aspects of making jewelry, from design to technique,” said Amy Carreño, LBIF’s director of public programs. “Join her workshop and have a story behind the jewelry you wear.”

Participants who join the morning class, from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., will learn how to make an Alex & Ani-inspired adjustable, wire bracelets. The afternoon workshop, from 1 to 4 p.m., will focus on beaded, double-wrap bracelets, including wrapping, forming and more.

“Design patterns with semi-precious beads and learn to weave on leather. You will walk away with gorgeous bling to show off your tan this summer,” the Foundation states.

The registration fee for each workshop is $65, or $55 for members. A 10 percent discount will apply for students who attend both workshops. Materials for each workshop cost $25.
