Looking for a fun and creative way to spend your summer?  Sign up for one of our Learning with Lynne sessions.

Take advantage of the longer days and relaxed schedule to learn a new skill at Today’s Cargo! Our lovely Lynne will be instructing the private lessons.

 With small class sizes (just 1–2 people per session), flexible scheduling, and an incredible selection of beads and materials, our lessons are the perfect way to create something beautiful while learning at your own pace. Lessons last two hours and will include the use of our tools. The cost per private lesson is $80.  Materials will be offered at a 15% discount the day of the class.  Whether you’re a complete beginner or ready to build on your skills, we’ll help you design jewelry you’ll love to wear.
