This 2-day class is for absolute beginners as well as skilled lampworkers with no experience in enameling.

Lampworkers will learn how to use their well-known techniques on copper, non-glassy people will adapt simple lampworking techniques and integrate them to torch enameling. It’s all about using vitreous enamels in the torch but on copper and blending those juicy rainbow colors Bea is known for.

In this class we are going to develop extraordinary jewelry pieces from the scratch.
You will learn basic metal work, like cutting, sawing, domingand finishing self-designed pieces from a sheet of copper. You will also do some easy riveting with sterling silver.
At the end you may call several pieces of wearable art your own.

This is a 2-day class for intermediate beadmaking skills. Bea will show you how she creates her rainbow-colored implosion beads and objects.

Day one begins with the special prep work for different kinds of implosions. Using glass and enamels, you will be pulling the smallest possible twisted canes in multiple colors and learn how to apply them. We will start off with implosions for a drop shaped pendant and threadable beads.
