 		Beginning Soft Glass Sculpture with Deb Crowley
In this beginning/intermediate sculpture class, we will learn how to sculpt animals out of "soft" glass. Have you tried to sculpt in soft glass and had your piece crack or break? Then this is the class you will want to take, from Deb Crowely, organizer of GlassStock. In this class, we take sculpting a little further with the vibrant colors and fast melt of soda lime glass. Begin with a beautiful little hummingbird bead. Next, make a fantasy fun fish wearable bead. We will then make a realistic Wrasse fish with enamel patterning and finally, a cool Green Spotted Filefish. Deb will demo another type of fish if time allows. Learn heat base basics for sculpting.

Class begins with a couple of shell pendants, which are smaller and easier to create. We also cover perfect loops in 4 easy steps so there's no more reaming and grinding them out with tungsten.
