After drying, an iron will remove the wax. 1,2, or 3 layers of wax can be applied with different colors of watered down acrylic paints/fabric dyes. No experience needed so come and join us as we create one-of-a-kind fabric, that you can frame, sew, and quilt with. You will have a very therapeutic day.

Masterclass to Master Glass
Intermediate/Advanced Glass Beadmaking
Class Fees - $525.00 (no materials or kit fees)
$100.00 non-refundable deposit is required at sign-up
Description from Corinas Web Page
You think that title sounds arrogant? Ha, me too! I still love the title, because it rhymes, and those of you who know me, know that I am anything but arrogant about my work.... So, let's live with it for a while, until someone sends me a nasty email about it and makes me feel 2 inches tall...
What does this class teach? Pretty much all of the things in "Passing The Flame", and a bunch of new stuff as well: how to make a round bead in no time, dot-application and designing with dots, dot-manipulation like poking, twisting, silver-lined dots. And then of course (the one thing that most students want to learn from me): stringer control. We will make a variety of twisties and striped cane, encased goldstone stringer, use of dichroic - and then we'll encase, of course. The type of beads we'll work on as the "graduation" pieces depend on the desire of the students, we either make florals, or tidepool/fossil beads, or something else altogher.
The main goal of this class is to gain maximum control over glass - so that it will do what you want it to do. Accordingly, I do NOT teach any type of organic bead, or the use of silvered glass etc.
Who should take this class? Anybody who is interested in "classic beadmaking techniques" (as described above), versus "tricks" or "effects". Beginners are welcome (as long as they know how to turn a torch on without singing their eyebrows), but be aware that I do NOT spend any time on safety issues, eye protection or ventilation. I expect students to already know about this. Would intermediate to advanced beadmakers benefit from this class? Absolutely! I had many advanced students in my classes who told me: "I wish I had known that a long time ago..."
I hope that all of my students will feel the same after the class!

Quarks
Class Fees - $525.00 (no materials or kit fees)
$100.00 non-refundable deposit is required at sign-up
In this workshop learn to make Quarks with Corina. I wonderful experience of making your own millifiori, stringers, and other playful quarks. Then learn to put it all together to make an exciting and intriguing bead.
Quarks and Quirks - 2 days
Initially I offered this as a 1 day class, but I always wished we had at least half a day more...- which is why I now only offer it as a 2 days, which makes the whole think a lot more relaxed and informative.
I am typically not fond of classes who teach one specific design, because the students often go home with a bunch of beads that look like the beads the teacher makes - and when they want to sell the beads, they have to start defending their beads, or, even worse, being accused of being a copycat. I am sure you all know what I'm talking about.
The reason I teach a specific design ("The quark") anyway is because I believe that the skills you will learn come in handy in a huge variety of designs. By "skills" I am talking about: making complex twisties and even more complex striped cane, graphic murrini (like the checkerboard), the use of dichroic (even in twisties), application of commercial murrini, and then finally the 3-dimensional encasing of all this stuff.
In order to have a larger variety of "ingredients" to work with at the end, students have to cooperate and each work in different color schemes to trade for the design of the final bead(s).
Be prepared for this class to last a little longer than the usual 7/8 hours, if the "host studio" allows.
Student level: intermediate to advanced
This class has a limited size of 10 people.

Ocean Beads
This Class has been added to the Quarks Workshop above.
Inside-Out Ocean Bead - 2 days
A variation on the Quark beads in a way - this class focuses on making components for "sea-creatures", and assembling them on the surface of the bead, rather than in the classic (and time-consuming) encased aquarium bead.
Depending on the interest of the students, we will make sea-weed, corals, anemones, jellyfish, turtles, starfish, octopus, crab, as long as time doesn't run out.
We will also discuss how these creatures can be encased later on, and MAKE an encased Ocean bead at the end of the second day, if time allows.
Student level: intermediate to advanced.
