Dichroic Glass Fusing.
Let Sharon show you the secrets of arranging and layering pretty dichroic pieces to make multiple pendants and earrings in one short class!
This beautiful glass was originally created by NASA for the aerospace industry, specifically for use in satellite optics and spacesuit visors. Dichroic glass is meticulously created in a vacuum chamber using multiple micro-layers of metal oxides that result in giving the glass unique optical properties. Each "dichro" glass has the amazing capability of transmitting and reflecting different colors depending on the wavelengths of light reflecting off or passing through it. Colors also shift depending on how and at what angle the glass if viewed.
Please note that the projects will not be ready to go home at the end of class because they need to be fused in a kiln, but can be picked up after the firing process. Spacesuits optional.
Level: Beginner
Instructor: Sharon
Fee: $55 plus $35. kit fee (makes mulitple pieces)

Review of Buttercup Beads, July 18, 2009
I've been taking classes at Buttercup Bans for a little over a year now. The teachers here are just simply the best. I can't say enough great things about Andrea, Gina, Carol, Ellen, and all the rest. There are always new designs and new techniques being taught that I'll never get bored.
Taking classes at Buttercup Beads is like a breath of fresh air. Most of the classes have 5 or fewer students, so everyone can get enough individual attention. Buttercup Beads has the best atmosphere for learning too. There's a nice, big table with good lighting.
Buttercup Beads is simply the best place for its classes and twice-monthly soirees (when we sit around the table and work on our own projects)!

Review of Buttercup Beads, July 09, 2009
Buttercup Beads is absolutely the best bead store around. I love this place! This cozy place has the most gorgeous beads in all colors, textures, sizes, and shapes, and at the best prices around. I also love all the numerous findings, seed beads, focal beads,and tools are also great too. If you are looking for a bead store that has great selection, staff, quality, prices and atmosphere no one out does Buttercup Beads. I have also taken several classes there (among the massive amount of choices to choose from) and the instructors are thorough, patient, cheerful and make it so easy to learn. This place is my favorite place in the world outside of my own home. Thank you for opening and changing my down time into something so much happier and creative!
