New Smerlata Project

posted: Thursday, 07 August 2025

I've always had a love for glassware and have vivid memories as a child of colourful glass fruit bowls with scalloped edges on big wooden tables at family homes and I've loved them ever since.

I've been experimenting with replicating that curved decorative effect and my new 'Smerlata' series is the end result.

This intermediate class combines sparkle & geometric beadwork for a versatile component

In this class, which includes online videos you can watch at any time showing the whole series being beaded, you'll learn how to make the component and the detailed instructions & videos cover all the different variations shown and more…

The 2 x 3-hours (with a 15-minute break) class is on different days of the week & months and at multiple different times to cover all time-zones so hopefully one will work for you.
