Our wonderful teacher Caitlin Hyde
gets ready to do the first demo for the class.
 |
|
These are some of the beads that Caitlin
will show the class how to make (except for the horse head - we think that Don
Meadows made that one and gave it to Caitlin. )

Caitlin makes complex beads but she uses a
very, very simple set of tools - a paring knife, a graphite marver, a masher
(made by her husband), a brass shaping tool and a razor.
 |
|
Before we start our face beads, Caitlin has
us draw simple face using circles and dots.
 |
|
The class watches as Caitlin makes the base
bead for the face. It is shaped like a barrel and flattened.
 |
|
The face is drawn on it using dots, lines
and masking techniques.

The beads on the left are the face beads
that Caitlin brought to show us. The beads on the right are ones the
class made. |

|
Before we attempted more complex
figurative beads, Caitlin discussed how a figure might be broken down
into geometric shapes that can be replicated with glass.

She met with the class and then with
each student individually to discuss the bead they wanted to make using
the techniques she had taught us.
