| Join us for three days of precision and colour. Amanda will introduce you to making cabochons in all shapes and sizes for earrings, brooches, pendants and so much more. On the third day the focus will shift to end of mandrel pendants “beads with only one hole”. Exploring colour, layering colours, heat control and precision this class is suitable for anyone wishing to further their lampworking skills. |
