March is National Craft Month. And today, Gayle Fleury and Regina Fernandez, co-founders of Seaside Studios San Pedro, will be doing something interesting.
Oh, wait–that’s every Saturday.
Maybe I should say, today Seaside Studios San Pedro is adding another special event to their usual jewelrymaking classes, pottery classes, and open-studio hours.
They’ll be hosting a Glass Art and Glass Clay workshop, with world-renowned glass artist Paula Radke, at 1:00 this afternoon.
Paula crafts ooh-and-ahh-gorgeous beads and cabochons with dichroic glass. Her shapes are really fun–sure, she makes round beads too, but I really like her twists and rectangles, especially those cool silver-and-black stripes.
According to the blurb on Seaside Studios’ Facebook page, Paula will be teaching all kinds of fun “extras” in today’s workshop. She’ll be demonstrating her self-developed techniques, along with some new ways to work with dichroic glass. And while materials are included in the class fee, she’ll also bring extra inventory, if you get seriously addicted and can’t resist creating extra projects!
More details on today’s class are available here–and if you’d like a closer look at some of Paula’s recent creations, you might like to visit her Facebook page.
And while you’re there, you may want to ask Gayle and Regina about their future plans. They’re sure to be scheduling something fun and “crafty”, for National Crafts Month and beyond.
The Glass Art and Glass Clay Workshop with Paula Radke runs from 1:00 to 5:00 pm today, Saturday, March 7, 2015, and the cost is $100 per person.

Seaside Studios San Pedro is located at 525 North Harbor Boulevard, Suite 3, are located between Beacon and O’Farrell Streets, across from the dancing fountains.
