FUN WEEKEND - Bead Retreat

Kerri Fuhr demostrating her raven bead.

Two weekends ago the ISGB NW chapter held their third annual retreat at Frantz Art Glass. We had demos on bead making, making your own bronze press plate (very cool), tool examples. I even gave my first demo to a large group.

A HUGE THANKS to Leslie Thiel for organizing the retreat and for Frantz for allowing us to use their facility.




Scott demonstrating blowing a vessel with his EMS. Very cool idea.

Susan Mason blowing shards (paper thin layers of glass) with Laura Maddams looking on. The second photos is close up of the shards before they are broken up. Just little bubbled of glass.
