It all started when Alex Agudo fell into a strong interest in jewelry while embarking on a spiritual journey to find calm within himself in Chicago's bustling Uptown area soon grew into a sophisticated fashion interest, and that's when Monsieur Pamplemousse was born. Inspired by his modest upbringing and belief that everything is valuable, he draws designs with both modern and old pieces. A true stylist, he has an attention for color and texture, drawn from his lifestyle of frugality and adventure-seeking. His asymmetric pieces are timeless classics for the creative explorer. His all-consuming passions and outstanding eye combine for one-of-a-kind looks that reflect multi-cultural designs from England, Spain, France, Portugal, the Philippines, as well as his extensive travels around Central and South America. With a great personality and refined ways, he puts in all of the energy that's found in each of his creations.
If you are new to jewelry-making, this class will be a perfect introduction to the basics, like stringing and wire working. You will make 2 pieces of jewelry. One will be an earring, bracelet, and necklace set or earrings and a bracelet set. You will have a wide variety of materials to choose from. All materials can be purchased at the store or you can also bring some of your favorite beads. We'll provide 30-35 minutes of time for you to choose the beads & materials you want to work with, and you'll then have 2 hours to create your design.
