Ann's love of glass began with
stained glass, then expanded; first to fused glass, and then to
glass bead making. She is now addicted to the fluid nature of flameworking
beads and small sculptures. Her work is displayed in Florida and
North Carolina galleries, and at art shows. She has attended classes
with several instructors including Kim Fields and Corrina Tetinger.
Ann teaches bead making at the St. Lucie Rock and Gem Club and at
her home studios in North Carolina and Florida as well as at William
Holland. Her classes include demonstrations as well as detailed
step-by-step instruction. Class Description This beginning class will include information about studio set up with emphasis on safety, proper use of torches, and annealing procedures. Oxygen/propane torches will be used. Students will explore the magic of playing with hot glass! First we will focus on forming beads into basic shapes, making and applying surface decorations such as dots, stringers, cased stringers, and simple cane. Then students will explore enamels, metallic leaf, frits, dot patterns, gravity effects, and learn to make simple flowers. Students will use many tools and begin to learn encasing techniques. The lab fee covers enough glass and materials to make beads for many projects. Tools and additional glass will be available for purchase. A kit is supplied for student use that contains didymium glasses and basic tools. An Optivisor, clip-on magnifier, or similar vision enhancement is recommended. Cotton clothing (or a heavy cotton or light leather apron) and closed toe shoes are required. E-mail questions to aroyer55@gmail.com.
