  Are you ready to try a new technique?  We will be creating designs with small beads on a gourd shard, using treated beeswax as a base.  

  
  

  Teacher will supply:  size 11 beads, and Tacky Wax. 

  Students should bring an awl if you have one.  I will bring some 2" - 4" gourd shards, though if you have a shallow gourd top to use please bring it.  Let me know in advance if you will need me to bring you a shard.

  Wax Resist Technique

  

  Date to be confirmed TBA  

  Instructor : Anne Carling 

  Cost: $30 for members (includes daily centre fee)

  All Covid precautions in effect.
  

  Learn to use a kiska or pysanki pen to make wax resist designs on a gourd.  Wax resist is best for line patterns or silhouettes. Your choice of dyes or stains will be applied for colour.  The wax will provide the final outside sealant. 

  Bring a gourd clean on the outside ready for a design. Seal the inside if it is open. You may want to use several small shards for practice. Pens and wax will be provided. You will also have the opportunity to try using a stylus to apply wax.
