SEPTEMBER 25 - 27
MASTERS CLASS
Port Townsend, WA
Here are some of the things we will cover:
Methods for using enamels to create wonderful blended and gradient colors on glass beads.
Create beautiful silver end caps using sterling silver disks and Precious Metal Clay. Once we have made the caps I will teach you how to rivet them on your own beads. We will also be applying silver cores to beads with a hole size up to ½" in diameter.
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.
We will cover gold and silver fuming and make a nautilus and ammonite bead.
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.
This exciting new extended class will include a wealth of new information that I have not taught yet. This class is for ADVANCED BEADMAKERS.
