Marylin is breaking down my usual class and allowing people to take one day or two. I am a big fan of taking both days to get the most out of the class, but you have the option to take either day. I have broken down the lessons to give you an idea of what I will be teaching. **** see the bottom for examples

Beyond the Basic Bead

Day one:

Masking and good dots techniques

Long beads with masking and a solution for perfect ends

Simulating wood grain with cane and learning to work with metal punties.

Day Two:

Two different styles of disk bead

Using metal punties to create off mandrel pendants, this opens up a world of new possibilities for all levels of bead maker.

All lessons focus on heat control and good techniques, I try and talk about how and why I do the things I do. We also talk about designing with intention, no matter what style of bead you like to make. As always I try and run a fun energetic class. No matter what your current style is, I guarantee you will be able to apply the skills to your own work.

So come on and join us, I promise great music, lots of learning and some fun. Contact Marilyn for more info and to register.

August, ISGB Gathering Come and see my booth on Saturday, I should have books and lots of beads for sale.
