About MDG Designs Jewelry...

MDGDesigns is the handle I go by online :) I have over 20 years of jewelry making and teaching experience, and have multiple designs published in several magazines. I regularly submit projects for publication, and offer classes at local stores, too.

I can offer you 1-of-a-kind designs for occasion accessories or instruction to teach you how to make your own fabulous creations...

The sky is the limit. Just tell me what you need!

Just a couple of samples of my beadweaving work... Check out more of my work on my "Gallery of Designs" page! Some of the pieces that have been published are available for sale, too... and you will recieve a complimentary copy of the magazine your piece is published in! :)

Private Jewelry Instruction available...

I have been a jewelry instructor for 9 years, and have taught many classes in a variety of techniques...
* bead weaving
* simple and complex stringing
* knotting
* polymer clay
* metal clay

If you want to expand your beading knowledge, contact me and let me know. We can arrange for private 1 on 1 instruction, or accomodate groups for classes.
