Class Descriptions
Beginning Glass Beads I:
This class is for the beginner with no or very little hot
glass experience. This is a hands on class, and each student
will have his or her own torch to work on. I will cover basic
safety procedures, making and centering round beads, Stringers,
twisted cane, dots and more. All supplies are included in
the price of the class.
Beginning Glass Beads II:
This is a continuing beginning class and is open to students who
have taken a beginning class (with me or someone else,) or who
have made glass beads before. I will expand on what was
covered in the first class and move on to casing, florals, basic
shapes, raking, and other techniques. All supplies are
included in the price of the class.
Metal techniques:
Also called Metal Magic, this class is about the magical
special effects that can be achieved using a variety of metallic elements to enhance
the beauty of glass.
This class is for the experienced bead maker and requires some
basic bead making skills. Students must be able to make a
round bead easily. Other skills that are helpful include
being able to make good puckered ends, and to make and apply
stringer and twisties. The class will include
cased and surface applications of silver, copper, gold and
palladium leaf , silvered ivory stringer, fuming, silver wire
dots, and the technique I used to create my "Ambersheen"
series as featured in "1000 Glass Beads". All glass
and materials are supplied. Basic tools will be provided.
Students are expected to bring their own protective eye wear
(didymium or auralens glasses,) and any
favorite tools they wish to use.
Intermediate Bead Techniques:
When you are ready to go beyond the
basic bead and expand your glass technique vocabulary, this
class is for you. This class requires some basic
bead making skills. Students
must be able to make a round bead easily. Other skills
that are helpful include being able to make good puckered ends,
and to make and apply stringer and twisties. I
will focus on advanced bead shapes such as cones, bicones,
barrels, disks and vessel shapes, hollow beads, alternative
methods for casing and twisted cane, and working with dichro.
All glass and materials are supplied. Basic tools will be
provided. Students are expected to bring their own
protective eye wear (didymium or auralens glasses,)
and any favorite tools they wish to use.
