"I had a wonderful day with Elizabeth making a beautiful pendant and a separate bead necklace.
Elizabeth had created some beautiful clay colours ahead of the course to match my signature colour. She showed me how to blend the clay to get the exact shade I wanted and how to add a gold fleck effect. She answered all my questions about baking, buffing and varnishing the beads.
Elizabeth also had plenty of examples of necklaces she had already made, and bead shapes that could be created, so it was easy to choose my own design. She also provided tips on stringing the necklace with the beads and accompanying readymade gold accents.
Everything from how to stop the beads falling off the string to finishing the clasp was explained.
I ended up with a beautiful claret bead necklace and a similar coloured pendant that I am proud to have made and love wearing.
Elizabeth was also a generous host and working in her home studio was a delight. It was a brilliant experience. "
