Make Glass Beads: Intro to Lampworking through Kirkwood
Making
glass beads is great fun and an opportunity to do something outside of your
normal routine. You’ll have an unusual
response to give when friends ask you what is new in your life. This class will increase your hand-eye
coordination and allow you to make beads that can be used in jewelry
making.
This
class will teach you the art of lampworking, a technique of using a torch and
melting glass rods to create various shapes.
Safety and appropriate equipment handling are emphasized. Your beads will need to stay in a kiln
overnight to be annealed. No previous
experience necessary.
Instructor: Karen Kubby
