Arrow Jari Sheesh in Maine -- July 5-6, 2010

Jari Sheesh
at Playing with Fire!
Rockland, Maine


'Blown Beads & Buttons'
~ July 5-6, 2010
Monday/Tuesday ~~





Hollow Beads: Students will learn to create a hollow bead from parallel disks of soft glass, which will then be blown into large, lightweight spheres using a “puffy” mandrel. They will also learn correct engineering of a hollow bead and how to avoid typical hollow bead pitfalls, such as concave holes. The instructor will demonstrate the techniques required to ornament these beads with both free-form and geometric designs using a variety of soft glass. The instructor will address the problems specific to decorating a hollow bead as opposed to a solid core, with stress on the careful balance of heat and movement. She will also demonstrate the technique of stringer control necessary for precise ornamentation.


Off-Mandrel Buttons: Working off mandrel is very liberating and allows a new freedom to controlling glass. In this class, students will learn how to create a variety of buttons with glass shanks using very tiny punties and a tungsten probe. This same technique can be used for making pendants and earrings.The key to centering a pattern, laying on a twistie and creating geometrical designs will be taught in the portion of class.

Jari Sheese began her love affair with beads as a college student in Lima, Peru in 1983. Immersing herself in all aspects of Peruvian culture, she became most intrigued by the street artisans selling jewelry on the sidewalks outside the University. After buying a set of pliers, wire and beads from the local handicraft market, she began her life changing journey by actually becoming a street artisan and surviving from the meager profits each day. Jari never looked back and continued down the creative path when she opened her bead store, Boca Loca Beads, in 1989. The amazing world of beads has allowed Jari to travel far and wide in search of unique and beautiful treasure for her store focusing in on all the great bead destinations of the world. The next creative stage of Jari's life began 12 years ago when she offered a lampworking class at her shop. She was hooked immediately and quickly built a lampworking studio in her store. Since that time, Jari's main focus has been working with glass. She has introduced this amazing artform to more than 500 students. Over the last several years, Jari made a small side step into the niche of making glass buttons. These little works of art are sought after by button collectors all over the United States. Most recently, Jari Sheese received the 2007-2008 Creative Renewal Fellowship from the Arts Council of Indianapolis allowing her to travel to Venice and the Northern region of the Czech Republic in order to explore and exchange ideas with other lampworkers.

Bumping this up!

Just take another look at the gorgeous color and amazing effects that Jari gets with her work!

You'll not want to miss this class! We have just a couple of seats left.


This is a great time to be on the coast of Maine! And for blues fans: you might want to stick around a few extra days: Jari's class comes just before the North Atlantic Blues Festival which is held right here in Rockland!
