This DVD runs 1 hour 45 minutes and is jam packed with tips and tricks and how-to’s. It is well paced and organized with options to watch the entire movie or jump to specific topics on the DVD. Each topic is introduced with an easy to read graphic and a showcase of Corina’s beads which demonstrate each technique. We are treated to several camera angles as she works, making it easy to see where her hands, bead, and stringer are placed relevant to the flame. Thanks to the zoomed in close-ups, the beads are larger than life, making it much easier to see the detail and the small fluctuations of her hands. The viewer is treated to positions normally not seen in a classroom setting. She carefully explains every move she makes, what she is doing and why. This DVD is great for the beginner lampwork bead maker, and inveterate bead makers can even pick up a few tricks. The eye candy alone is worth it for inspiration.
Very informative. I am a beginner and after watching this video on stringer control my confidence level is greater. Great explanations and demonstrations. I would recommend this video to anyone wanting an understanding of stringer control, beginner or advanced student.
Enjoyed this video. She gives many good tips on things that I (a newbie beader) am having difficulty with. Also fun to watch.
Enjoyed this DVD. I am new and learning this craft, so I cannot be a critic, but I believe the info will be invaluable as we progress.
Very informative DVD. Corina keeps you entertained throughout and shares all of her secrets. This is a DVD you will enjoy watching over and over again.
This was an easy video to watch and very informative. For anyone wanting help with stringers and stringer control, I say " Watch this video."
This was hugely beneficial to the beginning lampworker. She shows so many great techniques and tips, I couldn't wait to get out to my studio and try them out.
Excellent video! The intro is a little corny, but the rest of it invaluable to those of us who need help with stringer control. I learned a lot from this tutorial and highly recommend it for anyone starting out in glass bead making.
Wow, that lady can do some fancy stringing. I particulary enjoyed her technique for making stringer colors. As a beginner, I considered the DVD to be very good and informative.
Corina has a real understanding of stringer control and it comes out in this video. I recommend the video for learning these techniques.
Well done, with humor. Good instruction for soft glass stringers.
This video is awesome!! Wonderfully done with a lot of tips and tricks. Im still practicing my stringer control, but after watching this video and using the tips, my control has really improved!
I liked the DVD a lot, good instructions and tips.
I loved this DVD! Corina makes learning fun and is very informative. She does a great job in explaining all of her techniques and even gives alternative techniques. Everything from the camera angle to the instructions was great!
This video gives very thorough and easy to follow directions for placing stringer on beads where you want it.
The video has good pictures and clear instructions. My stringer control and dot placement improved dramatically after practicing these techniques.
Good instruction, good quality photos but lady was very nervous and production was not very professional.
Very good tips and tricks on stringer control! I'll be looking out for her other videos.
I have Corina's book and this DVD was no different. Totally Fantastic !!! This was great from start to finish. I recommend it 100 %
The content was good however it was poorly produced. There is a lot of talking to the camera man, discussion of shots, etc.
I would recommend it, just be prepared to listen to a lit of extra discussion beyond the task at hand.
