For those of you in the Seattle area in July you can take an enamel and lampworking class and make insanely cool beads with Bronwen Heilman. She’s teaching over at Pratt Fine Art Center. It’s a three day class, July 19-21. Check out her web site for more information. Painting with enamels, fusing and then rolling up the image into a bead sounds like such a good time.
