Come hang out and learn to make your own personalized friendship bracelets! Happy/cozy/snarky/sweary — whatever message you want to wear or share, we’ll help you pick out the beads to make your imagined bracelet a reality, then teach you the construction basics (and a few fancy tricks if we have time 😉), and walk you through assembly and finishing!
Class fee includes all materials needed for you to make two personalized, single strand beaded friendship bracelets — so you can keep one and gift another to your bestie (or keep them both for yourself 😉), but additional materials will be available for purchase if you want to make more bracelets in class (or later at home).
Please note: Your friendship bracelet will be entirely personalized by you, but hate speech or racism in any form will not be tolerated — in your bracelet or at Lucky Knot Arts events.
Pay what you can! Our suggested sliding scale for registration is $20-40 per participant. Your contribution helps support more Lucky Knot Arts programming! Each ticket includes (2) friendship bracelets created with Eling as well as light snacks and drinks we’ll provide from a local Asian-owned vendor.

Western Avenue is an exceptional example of urban reuse – turning an industrial textile mill complex into a campus of over 350 creatives. WA rents work-only artist studios and live/work artist residential lofts. We host year round First Saturday events ranging from Art Markets to Open Studios where the artists open their studios to the public, as well as other events. The Studios are open for wandering the hallways seven days a week. Individual artists are available in person by appointment. The campus is home to the Loading Dock Gallery, Navigation Brewing, Refuge Art School, Nibbāna Cafe, and Taffeta Music Hall. Each have different hours of operation. Western Avenue: celebrating art and the art of the handmade.
