History of Glass Beadmaking will be covered along with design & resources to the craft.

Patti was introduced to glass as a student at Tyler School of Art, and has been a professional bead artist since 1992. Her current work, Drifters & Wanderers, is made in a variety of jewel tone colors and biomorphic marine life shapes. The metalwork is fine silver and traditionally based on 2nd century Greek chain patterns, but reinterpreted at a much larger scale.
