CERAMIC BEADS frequently asked questions

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about my ceramic beads. If you have a specific question that isn't answered here, please send me an e-mail artbyjeng@hotmail.com

Do you make all the ceramic beads yourself?
Yes I sure do. Every single ceramic bead has been handmade and painted by me. This is a 'one lady' hobby and I really enjoy making my own ceramic beads. It is a lengthy process, but it's very rewarding. You can read about the process, here.

Sounds interesting, do you hold workshops?
Yes, I hold a several classes designed specifically for people who want to try something unique and different.
MAKE Ceramics - is a 'grass roots' level class designed specifically for the person who wants to make their own beads from clay, here.
PAINT Ceramic Beads - where you can come and choose how many of my handmade unpainted ceramic bisque beads you wish to paint for your next creation, here,
PAINT + MAKE Jewellery - is a class where you can paint beads and then make specific jewellery, here,
PAINT + MAKE - a creative bead painting, swapping and making a necklace class that is ideal for parties, here.

Is it possible to just buy the unpainted ceramic beads from you?
You sure can. I have customers doing just that. My handmande ceramic bisque beads are perfect for every crafter as my beads can be covered in PMC, acrylic paints, polymer clay, foil, cloth etc. And with my unpainted bisque beads priced between 25c-$3, they make an inexpensive creative idea for art teachers, school holidays, gifts, projects and so on.

Do you make custom made beads?
Yes I do, if you would like a bead in a different size or shape, just contact me so we can work something out. You can see some beads I have made specifically for customers, here

Where do I find your ceramic beads?
I have a bricks and mortar shop at 206 the Parade, Norwood which is open limited times during the week...see first answer...I also have a range of my Ceramic Jewellery available in selected outlets. I can send you a short listing if you like. I am currently working towards having specific beads and jewellery available on this site. In the meantime - you can always contact me if you see something you like or have any enquiries.

I live interstate, is that a problem?
Not to me, I love interstate enquiries. Shoot me an email so we can discuss things further.

And overseas?
Even better!

NB I use toxic free underglazes and glazesglazes.
I want to keep away from the harmful stuff as much as you do.
