An Afternoon with Jelveh Jaferian
Key Mandrel and Rubino reactions
November 9, 2020

Jelveh graced us once again with her artful demonstrations and entertaining stories …. “Banana,”  as well as  her process of developing and improving her  Key Mandrel.  She showed how using different base colors  under reactive glass changes the look of the final bead.  For the first bead she used Periwinkle as the base, and for the other she used pink, for two different looks. She demonstrated  some glass magic with a reaction between Rubino and Copper Green.

Jelveh reminded us of that special place in the flame to work Rubino to let it’s beautiful color shine. She also suggested numerous tips and tricks to consider when making beads on antique keys. She  explained  what types of keys could and could not be used and the best places to find them. Thanks Jelveh for stepping in for the Glass Dragons once again.
