Kathleen Dustin Personal Ethnic Neckpiece Workshop
Friday April 30th & Saturday May 1st
10:00am-4:00pm
Location: The Bead House Studio
Class Fee: $350.00 + materials

Description: Its wonderful when large beads can be visually statement-making, but its not enjoyable when they are too heavy to wear comfortably. In this workshop, Kathleen will teach constructing and assembling large light-weight hollow beads in organic/geometric shapes, but will concentrate on making beads inspired by the world's ethnic jewelry. Students will make their own neckpiece of beads using some Kathleen's original faux techniques and quite a bit of carving, so if carving practice is what you want, then this is the workshop for you. Having taken the "Large Hollow Bead" workshop is advised, but not a requirement and emphasis will be placed on your own reinterpretation of classic ethnic designs.
Artist Bio: Widely recognized as one of the world's leading polymer clay artists, Kathleen Dustin has been a pioneer, an educator, and source of inspiration for those interested in this emerging medium. Her exquisite evening bags have been celebrated for their emotional images of women, translucent depth of surface, and vibrant colors.
