Brad Pearson: Two- Day "Beyond The Basic Bead"
Saturday-Sunday, Oct. 11th & 12th, 2008
9:30 AM- 4:30 PM
Break out of the wound bead on a mandrel! Explore glass beyond the simple round bead! This class is designed to push you to a new level of beadmaking. We will cover dots, masking patterns, heat control, two-part bead construction, and working off- mandrel with stainless steel punties. New lessons are always evolving as Brad learns new things and masters new techniques, so students can always expect something new. The class can also be somewhat driven by the needs of the students.
Learn new ways to think about bead construction and gain control over the glass to create new and exciting works of art. The lessons are suited for a wide variety of skill levels and everyone will walk away with something they can take to use in their own artwork.
$395 per student, includes all supplies and lunch.
(Save $25 - $565 if enrolling in all three days!)

Take them all!!
Friday, Nov. 14, 2008 Beginning Blown Vessels
Intricate blown soft-glass vessel techniques developed by Tink over the past several years are demonstrated, discussed and practiced. We look at all aspects of the form: heat control, "reading" the glass, handles, glass stoppers and other adornments. Some Flameworking experience is desirable.
$195 per student
Sat., Nov. 15, 2008 Intermediate Blown Vessels
Take your blown vessels to the next level! This class is for those familiar with Tink’s on-mandrel blown vessel techniques who would like to incorporate more complex embellishments and design elements into their works. Picks up where Miniature Blown Vessels leaves off. Covered are fancy lip wraps, fancy stoppers, alternate handle techniques, new body shapes, adding feet and much, much more! This class is a perfect follow-up to Beginning Blown Vessels, and can be taken the day AFTER that class. When offering both of these classes at a venue, we offer them on concurrent days, in order, for just this reason!
$195 per student
Sun., Nov. 16, 2008 Tink's Tips and Tricks
This class is always great fun! We’ve assembled a wonderful collection of things to pique your interest and explore new avenues. Bring two finished beads to prep, one for an Electroforming project and one to Sandblast! Both processes will introduce you to a process & familiarize you with the steps to continue on your own. We’ll explore Venetian glass pen techniques, Image transfer & signing your work with sharpened Titanium. Other topics may include: glass compatibility stringer tests, implosion pendants, using PMC on glass, blowing/using shards and making your own signature cane. You’ll have plenty of time to try new techniques. It's structured playtime at its best. No two class sessions will be the same! Some Flameworking experience is desirable.
