Tutorial – An Introduction into Sculpting with Glass – Lampwork – Goddess Bead Tutorial by LavenderCreek
19,00 USD
This is not just your typical & quot; Step by Step & quot; project but rather an in-depth Introduction into the Art of Sculpting with Soft Glass (on a mandrel). It begins with a look at the basics of sculpting; the key elements, how they work and why they are important. Then a brief look at my own personal & quot; sculpting philosophy & quot ;.
Then, using my Willendorf style goddess as our project bead, I take you step by step through each phase of her construction, using large, full color photographs along with detailed discussion on how to do each technique and why it works.
I have added additional notes throughout the tutorial including helpful tips and more in-depth information on certain techniques.
The techniques you will learn in this tutorial are not just specific to making this bead, but will serve you well no matter what type of sculpting / glasswork you choose to do.
The tutorial is 35 pages long with 26 large, full color photos and several smaller photos showing the goddess from various angles. To the right you will see 2 of the actual photos from the tutorial. Click to view full size and quality.
Experience Level:
* I recommend that you have at least a bit of experience with marvering and hand-shaping glass beads. I have taught this bead to a few students who were not quite that experienced and they did wonderfully, so if you still want to give it a try, by all means go ahead. The experience you will gain and the valuable information contained in this tutorial can only help to develop your skills. *
