Ever wonder what happens when you mix soft glass with palladium, copper and enamels? Nancy may not have all the answers, but she does know how to help think outside your bead making box. Using soft glass, Thompson Enamels and a variety of metal foils, you will learn how to change the texture of your beads, increase your color palette and create an organic and sometimes freeform look. Students will be encouraged to step outside of their comfort zone with glass and learn some creative ways to experiment with a variety of fun materials. Don"­t just ask what if"–come take this class and try it.
