September Class At Austin's Blue Moon Glassworks


I'll be in Austin, TX at Blue Moon Glassworks this September. Come join me for a lot of fun and lots of learning too! I love this studio- Jim & Rose Berry are fabulous hosts and the location is in a great neighborhood with restaurants, cute bed & breakfasts (or should I call them "bead & breakfasts"?) There are just a few open spots and I'd love to have some of my readers finish filling them up. You will learn a lot - from techniques & creativity to heat control and lots of tips too... I promise.

Playful Sculptural Beadmaking & More
with........Marcy Lamberson

Add creativity and whimsy to your beadmaking, while learning how to easily transform shapes you already know into playful sculptural beads. We'll first learn some sculptural techniques including simple faces (you'll make your own portrait bead) plus dogs, cupcakes with butterflies, and how to pull out glass to make arms and more. You’ll learn how to look at photos, drawings and 3-D items and interpret them as beads, while adding the inventive details which make them your own uniquely personal treasures.

2-day class, 10am-6pm
Lunch will be provided on both days.
Tuition: $395

September 11 & 12, 2010

  6. Thanks Lara. I appreciate the list. and I'll look into it. The best way to bring a teacher to your town, is to call or email the studios and request them. then get your friends to do the same. If a studio thinks they will fill a class, then they are much more likelier to bring the instructors in.
