I met a bead maker through a relative in Germany. For one afternoon, I was allowed to try my hand at it with her. The fascination was so great that I rented studio space from a glass artist in Switzerland for 3 months. After that, I was still so enthusiastic that I set up my own workstation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat did you find the most difficult to learn?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eControlling the heat and getting the beads to be round was the biggest challenge for me. Later, encasing and shaping figures were added to that.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho is your role model?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI don't really have one specific person as a role model. It is more all the people I have ever worked with. That includes all the instructors and everyone who was at the Courage Bead association camps.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere do you get your inspiration?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe techniques or objects that I learned about in the courses gave me many ideas. But I get my inspiration from nature, and sometimes ideas arise while I am working.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are your goals?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI am currently discovering how much fun it is to play with the glass. I had done that at the beginning, too, but today I feel more confident and more willing to experiment. \u003cbr\u003eSo my goal is to continue exploring boundaries and also to find my own style a little more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are you taking away from this challenge? What did you like about it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was exciting to start by choosing the colors and then making something from them. \u003cbr\u003eI wasn't so focused on techniques, and I pushed my perfectionism aside. That was very relaxing for me, and the ideas came more frequently while I was working.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neus Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53188376920330,"sku":"99.99s","price":27.65,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/5267\/6874\/files\/14013_gr_304da372-6952-4b6e-8a56-e18ea26d1100.jpg?v=1781125622","url":"https:\/\/schmuck.neus-shop.ch\/en\/products\/mix-color-september-kuenstlerin-s-tuor","provider":"Neus Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
