  • 27 Lessons

“Enchanted Forest “ is an exciting new class, both for beginners and advanced bead makers, that covers the topic of trees from all angles. Starting with the “generic tree”, trunks, branches and foliage, to a variety of specialty trees like birches, palm trees, African acacia trees and bamboo (yeah, I know, that’s technically not a tree, but it’s very cool)…apart from the trees themselves the class also dives into creating a visually interesting background that turns a mere tree into a small piece of art. bonus videos add knowledge about general techniques like making encased stringer, silvered ivory stringer or  asking your own frit.

A 7 hour and 40 minute class that will inspire you to explore the world of “painted” glass beyond just the topic of trees.
