SKILL LEVEL- INTERMEDIATE – ADVANCED
In this two day workshop Leah will work on increasing your skill level and expand your knowledge of beadmaking. A variety of materials will be provided to experiment with including palladium, gold, silver foil, goldstone, multi colored handmade frit and dichroic glass. We will be working with Effetre glass rod from Italy. Some of the techniques will include advanced latticino, feathering, floral and cased canes, precise surface decorations and clear casing. Leah will demonstrate an assortment of different styles and shapes focusing on design, color-blending and refined bead ends.
Leah’s style of teaching balances demonstration with focused one on one attention. Throughout this workshop, students will be assisted with their individual needs

Evening Classes
Evening classes
These affordable classes are held fairly regularly on Thursday evenings throughout the year. We start at 7.00pm and officially finish at 9.30 but things usually run on a bit later.
The class is £25.00 per person payable on the night (cash welcome) and a concession of £20.00 is available for students.
I have decided to go back to one general evening class per month for the time being.
The last evening class was on Thursday 18th April
Last month’s theme was encasing which is putting a layer of clear glass over something or embedding smaller elements in clear glass which results in a ‘paperweight look’.
See Evening Classes under Tuition for schedules coming up and how we got on in previous classes.

January evening class postponed to 31st due to snow
Hello from a snowy Enderby!
Given the snow and ice, and the forecast for possibly more later in the week, I’ve decided to postpone this week’s evening class until 31 January.
I hope this won’t cause inconvenience, but I know that some of you have a long drive to get here and this weather makes it difficult.
Hopefully you will be able to make it next week – please drop me an email or leave me a comment if you are planning to come along, to give me an idea of numbers to expect.
