I participated, was hooked, and ordered everything necessary from the instructor that same evening. A week later, I was able to get started, and I’m still enthusiastic today!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat did you find the most difficult to learn?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSomething that is always a topic, from the beginning until today, is heat control. Many glasses react to more gas – more oxygen – working cooler – working hotter, etc. I am constantly \"learning more\" there. Almost everything depends on whether I am working with silvered glass, making stringer decorations, or using particularly delicate glass rods… a never-ending learning process!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho is your role model?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the beginning, Corina Tettinger’s book was my glass bible. I still flip through its pages today. I have taken courses with her, as well as with many other artists, and have admired and tried out their techniques. \u003cu\u003eEveryone\u003c\/u\u003e has helped me along my path. Whether you call them role models or not?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere do you get your inspiration from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat varies! I often look at my glass rack, grab some colors, and make something out of them. Of course, I am inspired by other glass artists, surf the internet, exchange ideas with fellow glass bead makers, and look to nature… \u003cbr\u003eThe joint \"Mutperlen\" (courage beads) sessions in Au are also always an inspiration for bead making.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are your goals?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI would like to continue this great hobby for as long as possible. Working at the torch is like meditation. I have had the privilege of meeting sooooo many great people so far, across borders, and that is so valuable to me that I wouldn’t want to miss it! All the more reason for me to continue supplying the \"Mutperlen\" project with many beads and thereby maintain \u003cu\u003ethese\u003c\/u\u003e contacts!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do you take away from this challenge? What did you like about it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe colors challenged me because I probably would NEVER have combined them like that! (A pity, actually!) So, I first played around to find out what reactions occur. Then it soon became clear that I wanted to combine them with annealed iron wire. That’s how the pendant was created. But of course, I also wanted to design something wearable, and so the two bracelets were created, made with my (current?) favorite bead roller. The subtle, fine colors convinced me. To me, they mean nature, earth, mountains, stones... \u003cbr\u003eI have learned: It doesn't always have to be bright! ????\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neus Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53188376363274,"sku":"99.99juni","price":15.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/5267\/6874\/files\/14755_gr_7de72f1a-131b-435e-bd36-4eb8d8675b78.jpg?v=1781125616","url":"https:\/\/schmuck.neus-shop.ch\/en\/products\/mix-color-juni-kuenstlerin-h-batz","provider":"Neus Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
