What to expect:

• 1 hour of pendant making at the Center for Creativity inside the Historic Hotel Sequoia in downtown Redwood City.

• The best part of the experience is the discovery process as you figure out how the parts work together and how to create something that fits your personality.

• Some call this an exercise in mindfulness. Almost everyone will have an "Ah ha" moment.
