I have been having a blast this week making glass beads and sculpture! Sunday evening after class I was really nervous because it was much more difficult than it looked. After two more days of melting glass and making beads, I am comfortable at the torch. Some techniques still elude me and that's okay! I will get them eventually or else I will just leave them out of my work and do something else LOL.I don't have pictures of my beads yet, but I've made a few I am excited about so far. Arriving at class each morning is fun because we get to pull our beads out of the kiln and see the finished product. When they go into the kiln the colors are different because the glass is still hot, so you don't get a true view of your work until they are cooled. Can't wait to see how my fish looks tomorrow morning!
Our instructor is Kelly Shatto and she is a hoot as well as being a great teacher. There are five students in our class (4 ladies, 1 gentleman) and we have had a good time "playing" together.
More later!
It sounds like you are having a great time! Good for you!!!
