I'm teaching at a new show! At the end of March I'll be teaching at the Art Glass and Bead show in Madison, which I've attended for the last several years. It's a great show with lots of fantastic instructors. I love it because there are always new things to try. This is the show where my mom and I learned how to make glass beads using a torch. You can try out just about anything and the greatest part is, most of the instructors supply the tools so you can learn something new without having to make a major investment. LOVE that! Many of the teachers from Bead and Button will be at this show, so if you can't make it to Milwaukee in June or just want a smaller, more intimate event, this is an awesome alternative.
So, what's on the schedule? I'll be teaching these 2 classes:
Saturday, March 29 9am-12pm$95
Recycling rules in this class, where we repurpose old wooden bingo numbers to create custom, reversible bracelets. On the plain side of the tile we will use UV resin to add images, glitter, and more. Students will learn resin techniques including how to properly seal their designs, applying, and curing the resin. Once students have learned the basics for working with resin they can apply them to a variety of projects.
All materials provided by instructor: UV resin, bingo numbers, images, tools and UV light for class use.
