In this work at your own pace class we will learn how to construct a square bamboo vessel from pre-made bamboo strips. Students will learn various decorative techniques using bamboo, glass, and thread with which to make their vessel unique and their own. Students can copy the instructors piece or come up with there own design. Some basic bamboo knowledge is included in this course. Students will learn step by step through video, discussion, and a few zoom meetings during which personalized help happens. A private Facebook page will be available for students to share work. Materials are included in the price of the class but shipping is not. Shipping will run in between $28 and $60 in the USA. Check out the previews for the class to learn more! I look forward to teaching you.
