I love to
teach, especially with complete beginners. The joy of discovery
on people's faces as they learn is what really inspires me.

Studio 19, The Old Dairy, Enderby
near Leicester
Two Days
Tuition 10.00 A.M. to 4.00 P.M. + time for packing up, questions
etc.
£250.00
for two days
This
course, apart from being a lot of fun, is designed to give you a
very good professional grounding and is supplied with copious
notes on all the background stuff you really need to know
whether you are interested in becoming a professional or only
want to take bead making up as a
hobby.
You will be able to see my collection of beads by international
artists and work that I am engaged in as well as previous work.
I have a collection of books on glass beads for you to look at
and videos to sample. I like to show students the extent of
possibilities available to you once you have taken the plunge
into glass making in all its inspirational glory!
Understanding how glass works under heat is really important if
you want a low wastage rate on your creations and careful
explanation and illustrations of its various properties are
dealt with in an easily understandable way and contained in the
notes.
Where to get everything and how to set up is all set out for you
and in two days you can learn all the basics. It's quite
challenging but it's also incredibly rewarding not to say
addictive.
I will show you a cheap way and a more professional way of
setting up and getting started. Recommended equipment, materials
and suppliers are all listed in your notes.
All equipment and snack lunches are provided.
Half a kilo of lovely coloured Venetian glass and a bound set of
notes for reference are yours to take away with you plus a share
of the demonstration beads made by us and everything you make.
The studio where we will be working is part of the Old Dairy
where I live which is a converted factory. It is a pleasant
situation and very easy to find near junction 21 of the M1 motor
way. There are pleasant B&Bs nearby at £35 to£40 per
night.
