A few
months ago I attended a glass fusing class at Bedwas Adult Education
Centre and spent a few hours learning a brand new technique that I knew
very little about but absolutely loved having a go at. My humble
attempts can be seen at the end of this post but first I'd like to share
the results of a joint effort. Ann is the talented tutor at Bedwas
and she very kindly donated a few of her glass pieces to see what
pendants I could create with them and some wire wrapping.
Of course I couldn't just make pendants with such lovely pieces so I created finished necklaces, choosing beads and colours to complement the glass.

These designs are now on display at Bedwas Adult Education Centre. I am currently offering workshops here in a range of jewellery making styles and if you are interested in learning a new skill, take a look at their
Facebook page for what is on offer or email me. Future workshops I am taking include a bead and chain necklace & dangle earrings, charm ring & brooch. A wire wrapping class is also planned and 2013 will hopefully see a longer, accredited course available for those wanting to take their skills to a higher level.
Glass classes with Ann and other beadwork sessions are available with various tutors,
I hope you are inspired to join in. Here's my attempts, waiting to be turned into finished designs.
