Beginning Glass Flameworked Beads
In this day-and-a-half class, students will learn the basics of making glass flameworked beads using Minor Bench torches. Safety issues, using frits & enamels, making stringers, and a variety of surface decoration techniques will be demonstrated and taught. Class time will be spent on both demonstrations of techniques and making beads. Students will go home with many of their own beads as well as an understanding of how to set up their own home studio. All materials will be furnished. Each student will have their own torch and ventliated station with tools and glass for the duration of the class!
