Creating Glass Beads:\u00a0<\/b><\/span>
\nA New Workshop to Expand Your Beginner Skills and Develop Your Artistic Voice<\/b><\/span>
\nby Jeri Warhaftig<\/b><\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\nLet me start off with \u00a0– this is a Lark Jewelry & Beading Book from the folks at Lark Crafts! \u00a0Why is that statement so important? \u00a0…Lark has a reputation for producing some of the best books in the Crafts field. \u00a0It means that you will get amazingly crisp, macro photography resplendent in full color. \u00a0This may not be that important in other books but in the Bead, Gems and Jewelry area it is everything!<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\nJeri Warhaftig’s first book for Lark\u00a0Glass Bead Workshop: Building Skills, Exploring Techniques, Finding Inspiration<\/a> $\"\"$
\nwas geared to the person who had been working in glass long enough to want to put together a workshop…more of an intermediate Lampwork\/Glass Worker.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\nIn her latest book she talks to the Beginners…in\u00a0 Creating Glass Beads: A New Workshop to Expand Your Beginner Skills and Develop Your Artistic Voice<\/a> $\"\"$
\n\u00a0she doesn’t just give you the how-to’s, she gives you the confidence to find your voice – to make a basic piece but in a “Style” that can become yours.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\nHave you taken a basic Lampworking class? this book was written for you – Jeri will walk you through new techniques and help you make this art your own.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\nThe ten “Workshop” style Step – By – Step Projects are easy to follow, well illustrated and unique because of Warhaftig’s introduction of a team of “project testers”. \u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\nYou will fell like you are taking a live workshop – not like you are following a book in a vacuum. \u00a0These student collaborators talk about each step and the challenges they encountered while trying to complete the project – complete with photos of mistakes. \u00a0Isn’t that why we take workshops? \u00a0we bounce ideas off each other, assist each other through tough spots…this is such a great concept and it brings this book to life! \u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\nThis will be the future of Craft How To Books – Well Done – Jeri Warhaftig and Lark Crafts!<\/span>
