Welcome to the registration site for the Marble bead/Pendant classes!

I have opened this online class as "on demand" class!

This means you can join the existing group and you benefit from all the Q&A's that have been posted in the group. There will not be a Q&A session or live meeting with the "On demand" classes.

The videos are indefinitely available to view in the group.

Once you have registered I will add you to the group, so make sure we are friends on Facebook, or I can't add you. The invite to the group will be sent to your " notifications" tab in facebook.

We will be making Implosion Marble bead/pendants. Technically they are pendants as they do not have a hole through the entire bead.

This class requires you to have intermediate to advanced level of glass bead making.

All the lessons are pre-recorded audio visual videos and will be available on the private facebook group set up for this class. These videos will stay up indefinitely as long as it is not abused. Each technique is an individual video.

You will be able to ask questions on the group for 2 weeks once the class commences, afterwhich we will setup facebook messenger live meetings which will be discussed on the group.

What are we going to cover in these lessons?

1: we will create a base for the implosions

NOT the Maria compression technique. This creates only a one sided implosion. We will be creating implosions visible all around the bead.

2: we will be adding an M2.5 screw into the bead/pendant so that we can add a bail which has a matching thread to wind in to the screw. This makes the bead interchangeable.

3: Various designs to create lots of 3D in your bead.

4: Making Wig/Wag cane, stringers and twisties

5: Using enamels to create wonderful implosions

6: Application different tools to create impressions in the glass.

7: Instead of using a screw in the bead I will also show you how to make a glass bail on the bead.
