Dayna Schutter 3D Floral Murrine Workshop

Los Gatos, California

Picture
I've been using Dayna's incredible flower murrine for a while now, for snap cabochons and clear encased focal beads, and they are the BOMB. Not only will you learn how to make these sparkling canes, you will learn how to apply them so they look fabulous and real.  Dayna has been working with hot glass since 2009, and her floral beads are droolworthy.

This is a class for intermediate glass bead makers who want to learn how to make 3D flower murrini and use them in their beads. There are different styles of making murrini. This style will focus on layering the glass as the murrini is built, rather than making individual components and assembling them. We will make a flower cane with a single layer of petals. You will be able to build on these skills to make more complex flower murrini as you become more comfortable with practice. We will discuss color layering techniques and recipes, and how to successfully pull the cane to the desired length and thickness. Day 2 will focus on taking these murrini and creating beads using various techniques for application. Techniques such as applying flat chips, how to pull points and apply, murrini implosion buds, and how to encase them in a bead without smearing them. We will also do a fun leaf cane twisty to add to the beads. Cost: $480. Email me to save your seat.
