• DEMO:   ELECTROFORMING!!!!  Janelle Zorko will show us how to embellish a lampworked bead with deposits of copper .

"Janelle Zorko has been involved with glass for over ten years.  An avid large scale glassblower since 1998, Janelle took a glass sculpture class at Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle, WA and was hooked on making smaller art – beads, perfume bottles and other small glass objects.  She has studied with many well-known artists and spent time in Italy, learning sculptural techniques from maestro Lucio Bubacco.  Janelle resides in Chelsea, Alabama with her sweetheart and a small herd of cats and dogs."
