About
Take your glass bead-making to the next level by increasing your skill and confidence in dot application. Dots are a fundamental part of beautiful bead designs, as well as a challenge.
You'll find the process becomes easier when you apply the tricks and tips you'll learn in this class. We'll make beads with a variety of designs including one final bead that will incorporate reduction glass to achieve the shiny, metallic looking dots that everyone loves. If you want to improve your dot sizing, placement, and manipulation, this will be a class you don't want to miss.
