This is a very versatile leaf shape you can use on just about everything you make. (think Christmas colors for your leaf beads) Students will learn how to do a Skinner Blend and from that design, add veins, form a leaf shape, reduce cane, form beads from cane and cure them in an oven. This beautiful leaf cane is what all my student’s want to learn the most, so you don’t want to miss it!
