JC Herrell This class will explore a wide variety of enamel applications and effects with 104 COE glass beads… with a dose of fine line stringer application on the side. The class is designed for intermediate beadmakers with the intention of expanding the student’s arsenal of design techniques into the wonderful world of enamels. We’ll explore how to apply enamels to create vivid backgrounds, gentle color fades, faux surfaces and streaky lines, among other effects. As you become comfortable with the properties of enamels and learn how to avoid some common pit falls of enamel use, you’ll also become familiar with wide variety of colors available from vivid to natural. Finally, the focus will switch to fine stringer application with an emphasis on drawing straight lines and crisp connections. The class is loaded with information, supported with multiple handouts, and always tailored to student’s need and requests. The sessions are designed with practice time following each demonstration to build skills and comfort one step at time, practicing and troubleshooting at each level. 2-day classes, 10am-6pm Lunch will be provided on both days. Tuition: $450.00  October 8 & 9, 2010 October 10 & 11, 2010
