| The Ethical Beader |
What is the public domain? What is proprietary? Is it 'inspired by' or is it a copy? Is it OK to 'borrow' someone else's design to make jewelry to sell at a fair or exhibit in a gallery? Is it OK to give a friend a copy of the instructions you received in a class?
These are not always easy questions to answer. And to make matters more confusing, the practices and philosophies of different designers can vary significantly on some of these issues. The Ethical Beader will use THREE CASE STUDIES as a basis for discussion about these difficult and frustrating topics. The class is designed to help you develop a framework for evaluating these and similar situations so that you can make ethical decisions with confidence. This class is open to anyone interested in this topic and is required for the Journeyman level of the Master Beader Program. Case studies will be distributed one week prior to scheduled class dates to allow time to read and reflect on the specific cases.

| Half-Persian 3-in 1: Chain Maille |
The Half Persian, 3-in-1, is a challenging derivative of the Full Persian. But once you've mastered it, you'll undoubtedly agree that it was worth the effort. The convex/concave structure of this pattern reduces the bulk of the chain and allows it to lie flat around the wrist while providing a stable platform for embellishment. The possibilities are inspirational! 3 hour class.
Prerequisite: Must be proficient in chain maille.
