Birthday Parties
Jewelry Making & Wirework
Kids Birthday Parties (Ages 8+) : Jewelry Making/Wirework Workshop
The party starts at the "bead bar" where participants choose from hundreds of gemstones, beads and crystals to create their projects.
Then we’ll instruct them on how to put it all together using wire wrapping and design techniques. Depending on party size and how quickly they work, the kids will have time to create between 2-3 projects: a stretch or memory wire bracelet, a necklace and/or a backpack charm/keychain. We like to limit parties to a maximum of 10 children to insure individual instruction and attention. However, we can accommodate up to 15 children if necessary, at a fee of $42 per additional child. A 50% deposit is required to hold the date.
Teen Birthday Parties (Ages 12+)
Help your teen celebrate their birthday with the hottest party in town!
Tailored for ages 12 and up, our teen torch parties offer an immersive and unique experience exploring the world of glass beadmaking. The kids will learn to use heat and gravity to shape molten glass and create miniature works of art. They'll each make between 5-8 beads, and no experience is necessary.
In order to ensure safe flameworking practices, teen torch parties are typically limited to a maximum of 5 children* We provide all materials and supplies required for each participant to make their own glass beads and jewelry, as well as trained staff members to help with instruction and supervision while working at the torch. For our glass beadmaking parties, we typically spend one hour making glass beads and 30-45 minutes making jewelry. (However, the birthday girl or boy can choose to spend the entire time at the torch making beads if they prefer).
After the glass beadmaking session, the kids move to the "bead bar" where they’ll choose the gemstones, crystals and findings they want to work with. Then we instruct them on how to put it all together using wire wrapping and design techniques and tools. Party-goers can choose between a stretch bracelet, necklace, or a keychain/backpack charm.
*Depending on age, we can sometimes accommodate up to 8 participants for the teen torch parties. In this case, the party is split into two groups - one starts with flameworking and one starts with jewelry making. Halfway through the party, the groups switch so each participant has a chance to do both activities. Please contact us to discuss this option if you have a group larger than five.
