New and wanting to learn
Hi,
I live in Saskatoon, Saskathchewan (western canada) and I'd like to learn how to make beads, but there are no resources in my city. Does anyone know of a good online site for me to start to learn about the different kinds of beads and how to do them? There is currently 1 bead store in town, plus walmart and michaels. They don't always have the beads I'm looking for. Thanks, Ellie |

Hi Ellie and welcome. What kinds of beads are you wanting to make?
Lampwork glass? Polymer clay? Porcelain? Wire? There are so many more but it would be helpful to know what kinds of beads you are interested in. -- Starlia Klopman www.klopmanstudios.com "Sagoya" wrote in message news:RfpOd.340051$8l.14288@pd7tw1no...

I love lampwork, but I don't think I'd be ready to tackle something like
that without someone right next to me while I first learned. Polymer looks interesting and I didn't know you could do porcelin. What does wire ones look like? Ellie "starlia" wrote in message ...

I learned by books at first. I purchased Cindy Jenkins book first then
Corina's. I took my first class about a year after making lampwork beads. The class was with Jennifer Geldard and it was perfect to help me in the stage I was in. -- Starlia Klopman www.klopmanstudios.com "Sagoya" wrote in message newsQpOd.341313$6l.4956@pd7tw2no...
