Classes at Rocio Studios
Our studio has 8 torches on the bead table all fitted
with creation stations. There is also a glass blowing
table with two more larger torches for boro tube
working. We keep adding more things to the studio
to make it as fun and care-free as we can.

Every class held at Rocio Studios includes lunch (subs or pizza). There is always a water cooler filled
with fresh spring water along with a chest of ice filled with nice cool bottled water and sodas (A nice
thing to have in the warm summer days in Florida). Each class fee includes all materials, food and
refreshments, so you don't need to bring anything but your protective eyewear. But, if you forget
that... we have extras waiting for you as well.
We work hard at providing everything you need so you can forget about everything and focus on
having fun and learning new techniques. Keep in mind that deposits are not refundable due the cost of
hosting national and international instructors. If you would like to see an artist that is not scheduled
yet, please send me an e-mail at; Rocio@FineArtbyRocio.com Thanks!

| Corina "Inside Aquarium" 1-Day Workshop on November 15th, 2010 (Monday) |
Class Info:
Rates: $450 - 2 day workshop
Additional Costs: (none) Glass, Lunch and refreshments are included!
Hours: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Workshop Name: "Masterclass to Master Glass"
Workshop Description: What does this class teach? Pretty much all of the things in
"Passing The Flame", and
a bunch of new stuff as well: how to make a round bead in no time, dot-application
and designing with dots, dot-manipulation like poking, twisting, silver-lined dots. And
then of course (the one thing that most students want to learn from me): stringer
control.
We will make a variety of twisties and striped cane, encased goldstone stringer, use of
dichroic - and then we'll encase, of course. The type of beads we'll work on as the
"graduation" pieces depend on the desire of the students, we either make florals, or
tidepool/fossil beads, or something else altogether. .
The main goal of this class is to gain maximum control over glass - so that it will do
what you want it to do. Accordingly, I do NOT teach any type of organic bead, or the
use of silvered glass etc. .
Who should take this class? Anybody who is interested in classic beadmaking
techniques (as described above), versus "tricks" or "effects". Beginners are welcome
(as long as they know how to turn a torch on without singing their eyebrows), but be
aware that I do NOT spend any time on safety issues, eye protection or ventilation.
I expect students to already know about this. Would intermediate to advanced
beadmakers benefit from this class? Absolutely! I had many advanced students in my
classes who told me: "I wish I had known that a long time ago...
Level: Intermediate to Advanced.

Workshop Name: "Inside Aquarium"
Workshop Description: This is Corina's newest class! Images will be posted soon.
- creating a water-like base bead- making sea-weed cane and twisties
- making simple Murrini for sea flora and creatures (NO fish murrini, that takes too
much time for a 1-day class) - creating sea-turtle, jelly-fish, starfish and (if time
allows) a crab

Workshop Name: "Frogs and Lizards, Quarks and Quirks"
Workshop Description: “This is probably my all time favorite classes, I can hand over
all I know about this in one day (wait? really? that is scary!) - and while some people
told me in the past that they were not interested in making frogs, this is one of those
times where I can answer: it doesn't matter, you'll enjoy it ANYWAY. Because
making a frog is all about one thing: heat control. If you can make a frog that is 3-
dimensional and still sticks to the bead, you're in business!
And there is more to a frog than just bright green! you will learn to use silvered glass
or add color and texture by using frits and stringer....and I will teach you to make 17
different types of eyes - which you can put on any other kind of creature, or just use
on beads in general as accent points. Once we get beyond the lizard, we will add
horns, wings or other types of additional decoration....So, even if frogs aren't your
things, you might want to consider this day of fun and learning.
Day2: “The reason I teach a specific design ("The quark") anyway is because I believe
that the skills you will learn come in handy in a huge variety of designs. By "skills" I
am talking about: making complex twisties and even more complex striped cane,
graphic murrini (like the checkerboard), the use of dichroic (even in twisties),
application of commercial murrini, and then finally the 3-dimensional encasing of all
this stuff.
In order to have a larger variety of "ingredients" to work with at the end, students
have to cooperate and each work in different color schemes to trade for the design of
the final bead(s).”
