Examples of some of the techniques you will learn or refine in this class are the skinner blend and other color blends, creating canes including bullseye canes, and making jelly rolls and stripes to create unique beads.

The instructor will provide demonstrations and answer questions you have about your work as you and your classmates spend a fun day designing and creating together.
