Admission/Registration

The CBJA accepts class registrations from any person interested in further developing their skills in beadworking or jewelry-making.   The CBJA encourages people with all skill levels to learn new techniques and further develop themselves as a bead or jewelry artist.

Application is made for specific courses, rather than the program as a whole. 

Courses are identified as:  (See Curriculum)
1. Orientation
2. Core
3. Electives
4. Advanced Beader Study Groups

Registration may be made by phone (615-292-0610), mail (718 Thompson Lane, Ste 123, Nashville, TN  37204), or email (beadschool@landofodds.com ).   All courses, except the Orientation course, require pre-registration and deposits at least 3-5 days in advance.   All deposits must accompany the registration.  When registering, please provide the following information:

IF THERE ARE COURSE PREREQUISITES, please indicate that you have (a) either met them, or (b) would like to discuss exemptions (see Policies & Procedures).
DEPOSIT/FEE AMOUNT ENCLOSED (or to be mailed):
PAYMENT FOR LAB OR EQUIPMENT FEE, if listed for course
IF PURCHASING KIT
IF COURSE FULL, ADD TO WAITING LIST($5.00 nonrefundable fee)?  Yes/No

If you do not want to pay the deposit, you may add your name to the waiting list for a course.   When we decide whether a course has made its minimum enrollment, however, we do not count names listed on the waiting list -- we only count participants who have paid their deposits.    If an insufficient number of paid participants have enrolled in a course, we attempt to contact each name on the waiting list, before deciding that we must cancel this course.

Waiting List
Please register early.   Most classes fill up quickly.   If a class is fully registered, we maintain a Waiting List of names.    Should someone cancel their registration, we turn to the Waiting List to find a replacement.    If the number of names of the Waiting List are sufficient to schedule a 2nd class, we will consider doing so.
