Black and White Bead Bonanza!

Mandala Madness!

Are you fascinated by repeating patterns and shapes? 
Do you crave color and complex designs, but also love clean and simple lines?

In this 2 day technique based workshop we will explore various jewelry shapes
beginning with simple rounds which can evolve into a never ending array of pieces.
Each of these will be personal to you, the artist and how much complexity and detail you envision.

You will learn my "Cut and Replace" technique and also multiple finishing options including
Mimbres, Patina and my new discovery "Crackly Goodness" surface technique!
From the pieces you create you will be able to fashion earrings, bracelets, pendants, necklaces, pins, buttons and more! 

Barb is a 2011 Niche Award Winner and a 2013 Niche Finalist in the Polymer Category. 
All of the techniques that she teaches have been created by the artist in
her home studio in the picturesque state of New Mexico, The Land of Enchantment!
