Glass Beads Basics

Looking for something fun and different to do this Summer?   Grab a friend - or meet new ones -  and make beautiful glass beads! 

We'll cover the basics of glass beadmaking using a gas and oxygen-fueled torch and glass rods.  Learn how to use heat, gravity and a few simple tools to shape molten glass to design a variety of beads.

*Beads must anneal (cool) in a kiln overnight, and can be picked up within a day or two, or we can mail them out for a nominal shipping fee . 

We also create either a complementary keychain or pendant (your choice) with a few of your best beads, so you get to have a lasting memento of your workshop and time with friends.

No experience is necessary and all materials are included.
