This 4-week class is for students who want to learn the basics of beadmaking and working hot glass in a torch. Students will learn to operate equipment and tools safely, manipulate molten glass into multiple shapes, and refine their skills by exploring decorative techniques such as dots, stripes, and twisties.

The instructor will assist with design techniques, offer suggestions, and help students complete their design ideas. Basic wire working will also be taught so you can make earrings, pendants, keychains, and more.

Class price includes safety glasses, various colors of Moretti glass for use during class, mandrels, kiln time, and all the tools needed.

A glass kit with additional colors and mandrels is available for $50.00.

Everyone is welcome; there are no prerequisites! After the second class, you may rent studio time for half price ($5/hr).

This class is a prerequisite for future flameworking classes.
