In that year Doris opened a retail bead shop in Oak Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. While owning and managing the shop, Doris began learning beading techniques and jewelry design from instructors in her store, books and customers. Given her breadth of experience with many other hand-crafts, including sewing, knitting and crocheting, Doris' talent for beading blossomed. Doris has had one of her original designs published and has taught a wide range of beading techniques to children and adults. As a former home economics teacher, Doris most enjoys watching where individual creativity will take her students. Doris believes there are no limits to the artistic uses for beads, especially when combined with knowledge of beadwork techniques and tools. In January 2008, Doris and her husband Mike relocated to San Clemente, California for a career change for Mike and a lifestyle change for both. Doris sold her bead shop in 2012 and it is now in the daily care of her former store manager. Doris is enjoying spreading her knowledge and love of beadwork to the community of artists in Southern California. Doris is a regular teacher for the Bead Society of Orange County. Doris’ jewelry creations can be found at the San Clemente Art Gallery and Tyger Lotus Boutique, both located in downtown San Clemente.

Ages 7-11 About The Instructor Ashley holds a BFA from Columbus College of Art and Design and previously worked in fashion design and graphic design for Limited Brands and later as a freelancer focused in print design. When her oldest daughter started in kindergarten she quickly realized there wasn’t art in elementary schools and started a PTA sponsored recess art program that now sees 150 students a week at one of the local public schools. (prop 28 has slowly began to put art back into elementary schools) She distinctly remembers how much her public school art (visual, music and dance) programs impacted her life. She hopes to share that same passion and inspiration with the next generation of creatives.
