I am very proud to announce our recent approval by the New Jersey Dept. of Education as a New Jersey Professional Development Provider for all teachers certified by the state of New Jersey.  With this Provider status, any class taken at Jubili Beads & Yarns® will grant teachers credit hours towards their 100 hour requirement for continuing education.  All classes given at Jubili will be eligible, and include:  all levels of beaded jewelry-making techniques, glass bead-making, dichroic/fused glass, wire wrapped jewelry, precious metal clay, metalsmithing & soldering, polymer clay, weaving, knitting, crocheting....and much more!  Popular classes enjoyed by teachers include techniques for making beaded eyeglass and ID badge leashes. To receive credits, teachers must simply request the Professional Development Documentation form at the time the class is taken.

Jubili Beads & Yarns® and Avenues To Independent Living have teamed together to offer a wonderful opportunity for their handicapped adult clientele. Every Monday afternoon, a group comes and spends a few hours tubing, sorting, and stringing our extensive new inventory! This program offers them the chance to learn valuable work skills that many would feel they are incapable of due to their handicaps. If you have family or neighbors with need for services from this wonderful company, please contact the owner, Joan Clark, on their website: Avenues to Independent Living. We will soon be offering week-day craft classes for the handicapped as well!
