Karthika, I don't know about any jewellery making classes in ukkadam area...or any area in cbe for that matter... I'll ask around and let u know... hmmmm... there is a small shop in RS puram(D.B road-almost the end) that sells all kinds of arts n crafts stuffs... It's called "Bombay novelties"... if ur friend gets a chance to go there, just ask her to enquire in that shop... they might know better about these classes...
