In this 4-hour class, you will learn make your own beautiful glass beads by melting and designing beautifully colored glass with a torch. Dots, swirls, lines and frit will be available for use. Detailed safety instructions will be explained and demonstrated at the beginning and throughout the class.
All materials are included. Walk away from the class with your beads strung onto a wire that can be used as a keychain, fan pull, light pull, zipper pull. You can also string them in order to make a simple necklace or bracelet. No experience necessary. This is a great introduction to glass beadmaking and flameworking and will allow you to come back and rent torch time so you can continue making beads. Expect to make 6-10 beads during the class.
