Paula Radke: Beads
Ever since the fourth grade, Morro Bay resident Paula Radke knew she was going to make her living as an artist. After dabbling in a wide variety of artistic mediums, including printmaking, silver casting and pottery, she discovered that glasswork was her passion. Utilizing a "Dichroic" process, she is able to create remarkable glass beads that change colors when viewed from different angles. Radke now has her products in nearly 1,000 outlets, including jewelry designers and craft stores such as A.C. Moores, and Michaels.
About the Craft Adventure
Playing with Glass Clay and Dichroic Glass.
Campers will use molds and other techniques to experiment with the brand new Glass Clay. Pieces will be fired in a kiln so that you can take home your treasures. Campers will also have the opportunity to make a pendant following a dichroic class fusion process. Pieces of glass will be fused together in a kiln to form the pendant. Then we will string a necklace that we will add the pendant to completing the necklace.
