Instructor: Rosita Pisarchick
I am certified by the Gemological Intitute of America (G.I.A.) in pearl grading and in all manners of pearl and bead stringing. I have developed this knowledge to integrate it with other jewelry making techniques. I continue learning and developing new techniques to bring to my students.
I chose my class projects selectively, so the finished product will always be a piece you will be proud to wear and show to your friends.

I offer 2 class instruction levels:

* THE TOTAL IMMERSION CLASS * : These hands-on classes are taught mainly in the classroom at Lodin's Gems and Minerals  in Brockway or at other locations by special arrangement.
