Beginner Classes & Workshops

3-hour Workshops

These workshops meet one time for three hours. This a great way to get a taste of glass making without a huge commitment.

Bodacious Beads (3 hours)

Price: $70

Mesmerized by intricate, colorful glass beads and jewelry? Learn the secrets of how beads are made at the torch in this introductory session in the flame shop. You will have a chance to make several glass beads to take home as you learn the basic skills of heating glass, applying it to a mandrel, and shaping it with tools, and a few decorative techniques such as dots and trails. Come “try out” flameworking before taking a longer class. No experience is required and all materials are provided.
