CL INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED LEVELS

In this workshop you will be designing a snowflake/star using diamond shapes (see pictures). You will learn how to use the Beetle Bits cutting system to cut different sizes of diamonds. This is a nice project to hang in a window.

Once you know the technique to cut diamonds you’ll be able to make smaller versions with a variety of colors.

The instructor will have extra embellishment materials available (such as dots, stringers, and frit) for those who would like to use them to embellish your snowflake/star. You will be taking your finished projects to the front desk to pay the firing fee.

Remember to wear closed toed shoes.
