Workshop Description: Following demonstrations and a slide presentation on Friday evening, on Saturday Milissa with cover different ways to approach making murrini and participants will create their own murrini canes. She will have some example canes already pulled to take participants through the process of coldworking, explaining the 'how and why' of this part of the process. Sunday will be focused on the different ways to use your murrini in beads. Possibilities include: 1) attaching them onto a bead, 2) making a bead out of all murrini, 3) making disc shaped beads out of 2 round murrini slumped into cup shapes and 4) a roll up with end caps to beads. Participants will come away with the knowledge to make murrini, cold working murrini and using murrini in beads.

NOTE: This is a rare opportunity... she avoids teaching since she did it for about 15yrs and now rarely takes on a class... and the price is right. Most of the ladies from 3RBG are pretty nice folks and of course Tom and Elayne are good at hosting these kind of things... so try and catch this one and learn how to go nuts on canework. I won't be there because of another class that I'm in at the time... but if I can sneak up for one night I will.
If you are unfamiliar with Milissa's work... look it up on GA.org... definately has to be seen to be believed. In my mind, she has done some of the best fusing and flameworked objects that I have ever seen.
