I feel just awful! I have neglected my LE peeps by not posting Stephanie's class here... I thought I did, I'm sorry that I just realized I didn't.
Anyway, Steph is coming to teach *Off Mandrel ...and Beyond!*

Here's the description:
Off Mandrel Sculptural Techniques to Make Beads, Buttons, Pendants and Beyond

A light lunch and water will be provided. Please free to bring
anything else you would like for the day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stephanie will show you how to produce the beads you’ve always imagined for your jewelry designs. In the workshop, students learn how to make jewelry components, some not formed on a mandrel at all. Exploring off-mandrel techniques allows a bead-maker to make buttons and pendants, both small and large in size.
Stephanie uses a variety of forms such as hearts, pods, and starfish to create the matrix (core bead) of her designs and decorates with stripes, dots, zig-zags and lacey edges. She will demonstrate how she forms sculptural shapes and embellishes with her vocabulary of different motifs. Emphasis will be placed on learning an array of techniques, hoping each student can utilize them to create something truly their own. This will be a unique opportunity for participants to learn from Stephanie’s (over fifteen) years of lampworking experience, and boundless creative energy.
