BARBARA BECKER SIMON - PEARL PORCUPINE BEAD, JAN 14-15, 2012
We started 2012 off with the incomparable Barbara Becker Simon, who flew up from sunny Florida to teach a two-day weekend workshop on her amazing Pearl Porcupine bead. It was an encore tour de force for Barbara - she came to La Ruche Davis in 2011 to teach us all how to make Metal Clay Boxed Rings, including how to address hollow forms, attaching the wire and setting the pearls.
Barbara has been a jeweler for over thirty-five years and a lampwork/bead artist since 1996. Recently she has traveled the country as a Senior Instructor for the Rio Rewards Precious Metal Clay Certification Classes.
