Making Low Fire Ceramic Beads, Buttons and Pendants
Product Description
This is a downloadable booklet of 22 pages suitable for someone just starting out making ceramic beads, buttons and pendants. I wrote this booklet for classes in ceramic bead making that I have been teaching. It goes along well with the bead making kit. The booklet has a number of color photos of the different steps in making the beads.
Why Low Fire Ceramic Beads, Buttons and Pendants?
The reason I have called this workshop Low Fire Ceramic Beads, Buttons and Pendants is that is how I started out. Local ceramic studios don’t routinely fire at high temperatures because of the kind of slip they cast with. So that is how I learned. I think that low fire is a more applicable for the beginner or person new to ceramic bead making because low fire kiln time is more accessible and supplies are less expensive. I also imagine that beaders who are using kilns for Precious Metal Clay could use the same kiln for low fire ceramic beads, as they are fired at about 1850 degrees and many of the newer jewelry kilns fire to 2000 degrees. When you order this booklet, it will be a download. Look for the blue "Download" button on the Order Review page, on the far right hand side just under the product description. Do your download at that point and it should work for you. I will contact you after I am notified of your order to make sure that it went smoothly. Happy Ceramic Bead Making.
