- Title: Enamel and Stringers
- Description: This class is designed for intermediate beadmakers with the intention of expanding the student's arsenal of design techniques into the wonderful world of enamels. Class participants will explore wide variety of enamel applications and effects with 104 COE glass beads, including straight line stringer application in the two-day class. 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, you'll also become familiar with wide variety of colors available from vivid to natural. In this 2-day session we will also explore stringer application with an emphasis on drawing straight lines with crisp connections and working with thin stringers. The classes are loaded with information, supported with multiple handouts, and always tailored to the student's need and requests. Practice time follows each demonstration to build skills and comfort one step at time, troubleshooting at each level.
- Short Bio: In 2001 as a corporate trainer, JC began to teach herself lampworking. A few years later and addicted to melting glass, she established the roots of her current business and began making beads full time. After exploring and learning to work enamels on lampwork beads, JC began teaching enamel workshops and classes in 2007. Her fondness for enamel was quickly surpassed by a desire to control stringer and create designs with fine, straight lines inspired by a long history of architectural interest. In 2010 JC began sharing her stringer skills in the form of workshops and the online tutorial project, “The Joy of Stringer”. JC currently works from a home studio in Elsinore, Utah exploring color and line as a means of expression on the canvas of a glass bead.
