After School Art: Flameworking/Glass Bead Making

Is your teen looking for something different to do after school these days?  How about learning to melt glass with a torch?!   In this 4-week workshop we'll cover the basics of glass beadmaking using a gas and oxygen-fueled torch and glass rods.

Students will learn how to use heat, gravity and tools to shape molten glass and create tiny works of art.

Each student will make between 6-8 beads each week. At the end of the session, they will have the opportunity to make several finished pieces (necklace, bracelet, keychain, wind chime, etc) with the beads they've created.

No experience is necessary and all materials are included.

Open to students ages 12 and older. Parents are required to complete a flameworking waiver before their child can attend.

Course Fee: $300

Date/Time: Tuesdays or Wednesdays 3-4:30pm
