Andrea Guarino - Master/Silver Class - Winter Schedule
WINTER DATES
NOVEMBER 7 - 9, 2008
NOVEMBER 14 - 16, 2008
DECEMBER 5 - 7, 2008
Many people have asked about my bead making process, especially the colors I use and the effects. I have been working on a class to let students explore the use of enamels and new ways to work with silver and PMC. This exciting new extended class will include a wealth of new information. These classes are for ADVANCED BEADMAKERS and will be taught at my Port Townsend studio.
Here are some of the things we will cover:
1. Methods for using enamels to create wonderful blended and gradient colors on glass beads.
2. Create beautiful silver end caps using Precious Metal Clay. Once we have made the caps I will teach you how to rivet them on your own beads using Jim Moore's riveting press. We will also be applying silver cores to beads with a hole size up to 1/2" in diameter.
3. Students will learn how to do off-mandrel work (such as my hearts) and use twisted canes (created in the class) enamels and new glass stamps to decorate their work.
4. We will cover gold and silver fuming and make a sea garden, nautilus, and ammonite beads as well as other beads.
5. We will also cover the importance of good ventilation when doing silver and gold fuming as well as when using enamels. You will be given a set of instructions for easily making a powerful low cost, easy to set up ventilation system.

dang... sounds like a BLAST! I wonder if I will ever get to take a class. If I do, you are at the top of my list!!!
I'm not sure if I'd actually learn anything though... I'm sure I'd be in awe watching you work and not be able to concentrate, lol!
What are the requirements for being an "advanced beadmaker"?

Some people are like a Slinky... not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.

Wow - if I took a class with Andrea as teacher and Gelly as fellow student, I wouldn't get anything done - I'd be too busy admiring both of your techniques!
Seriously, Andrea - what qualifications do you have to have as an "advanced beadmaker"? I've been lampworking for about 1-1/2 years part time, but I know I wouldn't consider myself "advanced". However, if I have at least some of the skills necessary I'd consider going up to WA for one of your classes.

Hi Diane!
Wouldn't it be great with Gelly here too!!!! Come on Gelly!!!!
As far as skill level is concerned it is very helpful if you can make nice beads on 1/4 and 1/2" mandrels with nicely puckered ends (this is for the silver part of the class). It is also very helpful if you are good at encasing! I say advanced so that I don't get any beginner students in these classes that may slow down the class.........
I hope this helps and you can make it to a class sometime!
Take care,
Andrea

I would love, love, love to take your master/silver class, but it is a bit too far from home for me. Thank goodness I'll see you Thursday in Lafayette! Are there any special tools I should bring to class?

Andrea - I can make a decent bead with good puckers on up to 1/4" mandrels (that's the biggest I have right now) and am getting pretty good at encasing, so maybe I'd be ok? I learn quickly so I wouldn't end up slowing anyone down.
I know you're supposed to be teaching at Arrow Springs later this year, but the dates haven't been announced. Any idea when that might happen? I have to work things around DH's business travel and the kids' schedules, but I'd dearly love to take your class!

Hi Angie!
I am looking forward to the class as well! I have heard nothing but great things about this group!
As far as tools go we will be doing some off mandrel work...... so if you have a tungsten poker and peters tweezers that would help.... I will have extras so don't worry! Jim Moore has made some new off mandrel tools that I will bring as well......
See ya Thursday!
Andrea

Hi Diane!

Have a great day!

Andrea-
Excited about the additional classes. I was also curious about Arrow Springs as they have you listed for a class, but TBD for '08. I would prefer to come out to your studio.
What is the weather like in November? I would just drive up from Eugene. The really cold/snowy weather doesn't hit until later - does it?
Thanks.
Alana
