Making Ceramic Beads & Pendants
Winter Class | This course has been canceled
This 8-week class will be spent making beads in clay - from textured tubes to reticulated rounds to fabulous focal beads - all of which we'll finish up as wearable art! Whether to create components for earrings, bracelets or neck wear will be offered and discussed so that you can complete predetermined project goals. Our last three classes will be devoted to transforming your clay beads to these project goals using basic stringing and wire wrapping techniques.
