The
beauty is in the detail...a chance to experiment with colour, pattern
and form to create individual highly decorative beads using polymer
clay. This wonderfully versatile medium can be shaped and moulded
in various innovative ways to produce different effects.
Learn to design and make jewellery combining your miniature creations
with selected ready-made beads. |
The
Course (Two days)
A number of modelling techniques are covered during the course such
as cane work and millefiori, embossing and texturing. Completed
beads are then hardened in a small oven.
Sara will provide a practical introduction to the use of wires and
threads, knotting and bead weaving. The skills you master can be
continued at home
without the need for specialist equipment. |
