Flame ON!, Tuesday evenings starting January 24 runs to Feb 7, 6:30-9:30pm $130pp includes materials- 3 student max.
This workshop introduces students to the basics of mandrel-wound glass beadmaking by the process of flameworking (lampworking) shaping glass at a bench-mounted, surface-mix oxygen/propane torch. Safety is discussed, tools, terminology of glass, and process. Each student will have access to a torch and will melt and form glass using a variety of hand tools.This is the chance to experience working molten glass! While not a “product-oriented” workshop, there will be plenty of time for students to make a small, but satisfying batch of colourful beads, which are annealed overnight after each workshop, and cleaned before the start of the next class.
Class fee includes all materials
No experience necessary!
Ages 14 on up are welcome! Like this:
