2 Day Marcia Kmack Vertebrae Bead Workshop

2 day intermediate workshop with guest artist Marcia Kmack

May 17 & 18, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.

The Vertebrae Bead workshop will focus on the components and skills required to successfully complete two and three disk beads, as well as perfecting your skills that can be applied to many other forms. We will start with basic disk skills needed, whether making a small disk on a 1/16” mandrel or large pendant disks, up to 30mm, or more, on 1/4” mandrels. Students will learn to make multiple consistent same size beads, disks and donut shapes, on a mandrel. We will learn to pull accurate and consistent 2-3mm 18” stringers. We will experiment with several ways to apply a stringer wrap to the disks to define the shape. After working on heat control, reading the negative spaces to achieve a symmetrical bead and learning how to bend and shape the disks without breaking the bead release. Next we will move on to three or more disks.

104 COE glass and lunches are provided in this class.
