Q: Both of you had a career as a teacher. Do you consider giving workshops in making beads a possibility in the future?
Actually yes, probably we will give it a try some day. My plan is actually a bit more ambitious – ceramic art workshop here in Bulgaria for small group of students (probably no more than 10), combined with introducing them to some of the Bulgarian cultural heritage, and sweetened with some culinary adventures, probably a vine testing or something like that. Sounds like fun to me, now need to find some time to try to organize it. Another option is to be a guest teacher somewhere, I'm open for such projects too.
Q: Are you planning to explore other materials as well in the future, like polymer clay or glass?
We are very interested in the glass and the metals, so if we'll start playing someday with other materials I suppose this will be the first choices.
Q: There are a lot of bead and jewelry artists. Is there a particular artist you admire or who you consider a role model?
There are many very talented bead artists. I'll mention just few names, but the list is really not limited to just this ones: Joan Miler, Melanie Brooks, Marsha Hedrick and Lisa Peters.
Q: If you were not a bead artist, what would you be doing?
Mad Scientist? Or more likely field archeologist. Who knows?
