All of the beads taught in this class will be made using layering techniques to achieve gorgeous color. Lots of Double Helix glass be combined with other glasses to create impressive effects. \nOf course\, great color needs a great base to show it off! The beads in this class are not difficult to make but look difficult. Step by step\, they are constructed slowly and carefully. It takes time and patience to make a great bead! \nAll of the class beads are encased in clear glass. Various encasing methods will be covered\, and students will marvel at the depth and sparkle they will achieve.\nThe large pressed petal bead is a combination of many of the above techniques and will be your masterpiece from the class! We will make several variations of the large petal bead\, from small round ones to big pressed ones. \nIn addition to the focal beads\, by the end of this class\, each student will have compiled a “recipe book” along with a beautiful strand of smaller beads made from their favorite color combo recipes to take home and easily remake. \nBest of all\, there will be a detailed handout for every bead we make! No more worrying during demonstrations about keeping up taking notes and drawing pictures that you can’t figure out once you get home. \nThis class does include lunches and glass packs!\nWe will also be doing a Hotshop dinner the first night of class and then a graduation ceremony the second to last day of class! \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n URL:https://sedonaglassblowing.com/class/color-magic-lisa-fletcher/ LOCATION:The Melting Point – Flame Shop\, 1449 West State Route 89A\, Sedona\, AZ\, 86336\, United States CATEGORIES:Torch Studio,Upcoming Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sedonaglassblowing.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Lisa-Fletcher-1.jpg GEO:34.8625812;-111.7857578 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Melting Point – Flame Shop 1449 West State Route 89A Sedona AZ 86336 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1449 West State Route 89A:geo:-111.7857578,34.8625812 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20200501T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20200503T180000 DTSTAMP:20260404T130035 CREATED:20190403T221932Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191219T042537Z UID:1764-1588327200-1588528800@sedonaglassblowing.com SUMMARY:Glass and Yoga - Hethre Larivee DESCRIPTION:May 1 – 3\, 2020 \nExplore the intersection of glass art\, yoga\, and meditation in this glassblowing retreat.

For nearly 25 years\, she has developed and used designs with diverse textures\, distinct application\, and juxtaposition of color to create her intricate twist patterns. In this dynamic workshop\, Heather will share her love of twisting glass while introducing patterns beyond imagination. You will advance your skill set\, bring precision to your work\, and expand your ability to understand and define the fine art of heat control. \nFind your comfort zone in learning to use large mandrels in beadmaking. Challenge yourself through a series of tips and tricks to conquer this technique. Become so comfortable with Heather’s method of applying glass to a mandrel in such a precise way\, and your large disks will always maintain their shape. Understand the fundamentals of centering a pattern and laying on a twist that will ensure an end-to-end match on your bead. \nThrough her unique style of teaching and creative problem solving\, questions that you are facing in your current work can also be explored helping you to not only be a better beadmaker but increase your level of confidence in your consistency and detail of the design. \nIn this energetic environment\, the question will simply be about how much of a challenge you are up to? \nHeather’s work has been exhibited both domestically and internationally\, as well as being featured in numerous publications.
