This class is designed for those  taking a  2 day class and wanting  to further developing their techniques and style with Trey. It is also a great way to get a refresher class day if you have already taken the 2 day class in the past.

Trey will addressing individual questions and helping students find their own direction using the techniques demoed in the 2 day class. The class revolves around the individual needs of the students and Trey highly encourages questions and will help problem solve technical and artistic issues.

This is an excellent opportunity to spend a little more time with the instructor, see a few more demos,  further develop the skills presented in the 2 day class or refresh the techniques you learned from a past class.

The pre-requisite for this class is that you must have taken Trey's standard 2 day class at some time in the past.

In this 2 day class we will be exploring some of the many applications of scrollwork.

Day one will start with my "Etch a Sketch" theory to scrollwork and  we will learn about appling simple  vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines on a bead.  Accurate dot application will be introduced at this time as well. Practice, Patience and Perseverance, the 3 P's as they are sometimes called are very important and we will spend plenty of time at the torch in this class. As the day and progresses I will introduce scroll designs and individually as you gain confidence we will begin to talk about raise scroll work.

Day two will begin with work time to warm us up. I will introduce more complex geometry to our designs. Diamond patterns and Cross Hatching will be demoed and we will begin creating bead combining designs and textures. As skill levels allow we will also work at keeping these designs raised. In the afternoon I will discuss creating beads with stringer work imagery. How to break down an image into linear form and the process in which to apply it to a bead.

We will be working with Moretti  and Double helix silver based glass for most of out beads.

This class is designed for intermediate to advanced flame workers who already have a solid grasp on bead formation. I will briefly discuss my marveling techniques for shaping large tube and tab beads
