The Brickers Group (Copy)

This group started off with the intentions of me having the ability to teach while running the store BUT after the December get together I realized that I am not able to do that so the scope of this group is a get together and not a 4 hour teaching session. I will teach and guide as much as I can and I will not ask others to teach while they are there to work on their own projects. My customers have always been generous with their time but they are not obligated to spend their time teaching.

Bezeling the Divine Tear: Master the technique to encase the large, tear-shaped navette crystal with beads.
Riding Neptune’s Waves: Craft the curved side embellishments that symbolize waves breaking in a storm.
The Heritage of the Deep: Weave the ornate lower element that mimics a proud fishtail, letting the tear elegantly glide downward.

This is not a class, but a perfect time to refine your skills, get some guidance, use tools, molds, textures and have enough silver available to work your project.
Pre registration is necessary and silver can be purchased (at market prices) from the studio.
If you have silver clay you may bring it.
Your projects can be left for firing/ polishing/ finishing/ or not! All as needed by you.
Pieces left for firing are returned in approx 2 weeks for pickup at Bead Soup.
Registration fee of $60.
Please sign up on the website
A la Carte menu ----
Fine Silver available 10, 20, 50 gm packs, from $50 - $165
cz stones, glass cabochons, ring stops will be available for purchase for your projects as well.
(firing, polishing included in fee)
Studio time is for tool and bench use and does not include any consumable supplies.
(if you know you will need specific molds, inclusions, tools, amount of silver - let us know ahead - it will help be prepared for you)
THIS IS NOT A CLASS, SO YOU MUST BE ABLE TO WORK mostly INDEPENDENTLY.
