Valerie Burton of Turner reacts to jewelry instructor, Rose Campbell. Burton is taking her first class at Butler Hill Beads Shop in Auburn, but has taken many classes elsewhere in Maine. She makes jewelry for fun and gives the pieces away as gifts. When she recently retired as a school teacher in Regional School Unit 9, she let her students choose a “parting gift” from her collection. Behind her, SallyAnn Rogers celebrates completing a step on her piece and Caryl Gilman labors on. (Andree Kehn/Sun Journal)
