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:
It’s wonderful when large beads can be visually statement-making, but it’s 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.
