Presentation:
Learn to create personalized faces for beadwork – and beads. Barbara McGuire will demonstrate how a lump of clay transforms into a face using simple tools – your fingers! (And a ball stylus) It’s easier than you think! She will also share various means of molding with two-part compounds and perfecting faces taken from existing molds and found object faces.
