Gold Foil Bead Tutorial
featuring patricia frantz
Once upon a time, before I ever had the honor of befriending Patricia Frantz, I had a poster of her beads hanging up in my studio for inspiration. She was one of the mothers of the modern bead movement in the US, and led the way for many. When she began her career, there were only about a dozen beadmakers in the US....Due to her efforts, and the activities of others like her, there are now thousands of happy beadmakers, spending their lives in creative pursuits. She teaches occasionally, but felt that she could do more for the glass community by documenting her techniques permanently on DVD. “Making Dichroic Beads”, “Beadmaking 101 Part 1” and “Beadmaking 101 Part 2” give an excellent start for anyone beginning on the bead path. Meanwhile, enjoy this FREE tutorial, where you can see all the steps needed to create your own traditional gold foil bead.
