Pattie Phipps - Rock Your World - Fine Silver Beads - Class Description
 

 
      

Examples of beads you can make with these skills.

A walk on the beach; another great stone. Now what do you do with them?

Turn those stones into stylish beads and capture them in Fine Silver Clay. In this class, taught by Pattie Phipps, you will learn two ways to capture your treasures. Learn to make a two part mold of your beach rock and also learn how to wrap a tumbled rock. Embellish your rock bead with a Cz stone or applique more textures of clay or paper type clay. The possibilities are endless.

Skill Level: Advanced level class.
Prerequisite: Intermediate level classes.
