Class Outline
In this two day class we will explore some of the many possibilities with 104 COE glasses. Our canvas will be large scale tab and tube form beads upon which we will experiment with many types of decoration. I will demonstrate my methods for forming large beads, Scrollwork application, Millifori floral canes, working with Reichenbach 108 (Dark Multi), and others. I will demonstrate some of the beads I make, the processes involved and help you find your own patterns and styles using these methods. We will also learn how to pull our own cane from the large kilo rods furnace workers use. There will be plenty of time reserved specifically for individual exploration and instruction. Bring your questions and ideas as the class will evolve around them.
Here are a few of the things we will cover in the class
o Shaping and forming large beads using the Bench Top Marver.
o The perfect mash for tabs.
o Heat control and gravity, how to make it work for you!
o Stringer control, 2 demos that will help you find your sweet spot and stay there.
Twisted cane challenged? We can fix that. The method I use to pull
twisted cane will have you twisting with the best of them!
Stretching, dragging, twisting, and stringer work with twisted cane.
Rhythm in glass. Yep. It’s got a beat Dick and I think I can dance to it!
Millifiori flower cane pulling, cutting, application and manipulation.
Super Fine Stringer application for stems and grass.
How to get those nice puckered ends on long thin beads.
Recovering a wonky bead.
Pulling your own cane from Kilo rods ( Much cheaper to buy that way).
