Lampwork Technique Night--Wave Beads!

Instructor: Dwyn Tomlinson

Dwyn's signature bead. Learn how she makes it, and then adapt the technique to your own style. This glass on glass layering is addictive, whether you are doing abstract forms or hair or vines. Glass included. Plenty of practice time.

This free form and flowing bead may surprise you with how it is made.
Not dripped or slumped into position - but carefully crafted - this bead
will teach you excellent heat control. Some lampworking experience is
required - but the ability to make a round bead is not!

Instructor: Passionate about lampworking - Dwyn considers playing with hot glass to be an obsession and as addictive as crack cocaine. You have been warned! Lampworking for about five years now, and teaching for nearly three, Dwyn's particular strength is in making large, sculptural beads. She has been featured in The Flow Magazines' Women in Glass issue and on www.beadingtimes.com. Her website is www.dragonjools.com.
