812923 Revealing the Unexpected (http://www.frantzartglass.com/go.asp?ic=812923) advanced class by Andrea Guarino-Slemmons. Sept 23 - 24, 9 am - 5 pm. This advanced bead-making workshop will be about revealing the unexpected. It is about changing the appearance of Effetre (Moretti) glass. We will do this by applying metals such as silver leaf and silver foil to the bead as well as by fuming the beads with 24kt gold and fine silver. We will also work on making and applying complex twisted glass canes and dichroic glass. Next we will move on to encasing the beads with a thick layer of clear glass, covering that with color and frits and then using lapidary equipment to open windows into the bead. Supplies and lunch provided. If you have personal eye protection or any particular glass colors or tools you want to use in the class you may bring them. Limited to 9 students; reservation and prepayment required. Price - $450 for 2 days
**During this 2-day class students will receive a special discount of the 20 lb price for glass purchases with no minimum purchase in the store.**
Here is a short bio of Andrea:
Andrea Guarino-Slemmons has devoted her whole working life to the glass arts. She started with stained glass while in her teens however she felt the medium too constraining. Fused glass was her next choice, but while using a torch to make odd shaped glass pieces and stringers to decorate her pieces she fell in love with lampworking. That was fourteen years ago and she has been making art glass beads full time ever since. The complexity of her beads has evolved with her experience and the availability of new materials and colors. Andrea loves working with metal foils and leaf and various chemicals to create reactions in glass. To find a new color that reacts is a joy. Andrea makes a wide range of bead styles and sizes and is continually working on new designs. Lapidary equipment is used to create her special faceted beads. She shows her work in two or three major shows throughout the year and teaches both in her state-of-the-art glass bead making studio in Port Townsend and across the country. She has also taught in Australia and Japan and soon in Denmark. Her website is www.andreaguarino.com (http://www.andreaguarino.com).
Andrea has had five different feature articles in magazines and newspapers. The latest is: "Lampworker Extraordinaire", Bead and Button magazine, December 2002, pages 78-81.
