AMBER DEBIRK STUDIO CLASS

JUST TOOK AND AWESOME TRIP TO SALT LAKE CITY UTAH.

THIS IS BEFORE AND AFTER FIRING, PHOTOS OF A GLASS JEWELRY CLASS WE TOOK AT AMBER DEBIRK'S STUDIO. THE LARGER TRIANGLE SHAPED PENDANT AND EARRINGS ARE WHAT THEY CALL A FULL FUSE AND THE OTHER PENDANT IS, I THINK CALLED A PARTIAL FUSE. THIS CLASS BROUGHT ME BACK TO MY SCHOOL DAYS AS I DID ALOT OF STAINED GLASS. THIS JEWELRY IS SIMPLE MADE FROM SCRAPS OF STAINED GLASS THAT IS FIRED AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES TO GET THE DIFFERENT EFFECTS. AMBER DEBIRK WAS ALSO A VERY PLEASANT AND OUTSTANDING ARTIST. I SUGGEST IF YOU ARE EVER IN THE AREA TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HER TO DO A CLASS OR CHECK OUT HER JEWELRY ON HER BLOG. VERY VERY COOL STUFF, LOVED IT!! WHAT A GREAT WAY TO REUSE SCRAP GLASS AND CREATE ART!
