Meet Your Instructor: Key West Craft Expertise
Hi, I'm Karen, the
founder and maker behind Coral Strands. I’m not technically "certified" in anything—unless you count a black belt in untangling knotted silk cords or a master's degree in keeping fabric glue off my own fingers. But I do know how to create a great experience.
Before trading sugar and butter for silk, gold, and gemstones, I spent my creative career building a successful wedding catering business
Sweet Lulu's, featured in
Forbes, Martha Stewart, and on the Cooking Channel. Crafting unforgettable, high-end experiences taught me the true value of detail—a principle that now guides every single workshop I host.
Now living and working exclusively in Key West, my workshops leverage my personal, everyday experience in professional, small-batch assembly. I provide premium materials, proven workflows, and patient guidance so you can skip the frustrating steps and jump straight into the joy of creating a stunning piece of functional art.
We seek out gems for their unique characteristics, natural beauty marks and all. Gemstone colors and shapes may vary slightly due to the nature of the natural precious and semi-precious gemstones.
