Bead Making Process The pictures below give a brief outline of how we make each bead. Every bead is hand-made, hand glazed and then fired in our home-made kiln.

The first step is getting the clay rolled out
to the correct size and texture to make beads from.
Next step is to cut out lengths of clay in the correct size to make beads. (This
is harder than it looks.....you must get all of them approx. the same size).
Almost done cutting nuggets......well from this length of clay anyway! Can you
image doing hundreds of them a day?
Here is a pile of clay nuggets waiting to be made into all kinds of beads. You
can't let them wait to long or they will be to hard to shape into beads.
Time to put the hole in the bead for the cord or chain to go
thru. It has to be just big enough but not to big or the bead will break & you
will half to start over.
