Default Sherry Bellamy: Fresno Ca, March 20th-21st 2010

Scarab Glass Works will be hosting Sherry Bellamy March 20th-21st 2010.
Yes, Sherry is back again by special request, after teaching in Russia and northern Europe.. Enjoy her warmth, sense of humor & designing talent while making very chaotic beads.

Day 1 of a 2 day workshop. In this class we will explore the endless ways to use various types of metals inside a bead, often changing the shape of the inner glass with mesh, and a bit of gentle persuasion. We'll create some chaos!

In day 2 of the class we'll be doing some off mandrel work, making components that we'll add later to the beads. This technique will hugely increase the scope of your designs, and you will become comfortable with working in stages. "Pods" are floating shapes that drift within transparent glass, you will learn to create them,using a special tool, and learn to create impossible designs as well. We will make beads in a variety of shapes, and explore some "non bead" concepts as well.

Please contact us at ScarabGlass@hotmail.com for more information.

Hi everyone, Sherry's class is fast approaching! We have changed the course to include some exhilarating new techniques. In the two day work shop you can expect:

Day one:

Shipwrecks and Other Watery Subjects!
Shipwreck beads are a great way to bring all of the techniques that you've learned together, in these beads, creativity reigns! You'll learn how to create a harmonious seascape without really trying; by layering colors and building a design from the ocean floor up. We'll discuss how to use scale in your designs, and how to shape your bead to use your ideas to the greatest advantage.
I'll also demo some cool Silver canes, and show you how to create and use some tiny components.


Some Examples of Shipwreck Beads:



Day two:

The Wonders and Wiles of Webs and Wire!
In this class we'll be doing some advanced work with both copper and silver wire. Using both off and on-mandrel techniques, we'll be exploring some methods of enclosing wire forms and miniature wire 'sculptures' in glass beads. I'll discuss in detail the behaviors of different metals, and we'll see how best to showcase these elements within a clear glass "window". (This class is intended for intermediate and advanced students.)

Some Examples of Beads using These Techniques


We would be happy to help anyone living out of the area (Fresno, Ca.) with hotel accommodations, We've been able to secure special rates from hotels in the past for those traveling to attend our workshops.

If you have any questions feel free contact us at any time.

Woo Hoo!
I took Sherry's class last year and it was great. She makes very cool beads and is a great teacher. I had so much fun, I'm taking the class again.
