Flamework: Basic Beadmaking
$150 per person | 3 hours | ages 14+
What to Expect
In this introduction to flamework on a table-top torch, you will learn basic lampworking skills as you create your own small collection of glass beads.
Your three-hour class will begin with a discussion of the different kinds of glass (soft glass, borosilicate) that can be worked on the torch as well as an introduction to torch safety --- and then the fun begins!
Your instructor will cover:
* how to light the torch
* the proper use of bead release
* employing mandrels to form hollow beads
* how to make the most of hand tools including marvers, tweezers, claw grabbers, and mandrels
* decorative and texturing techniques such as dots and stringers, and texture/sculpting
You will melt and layer colored rods of glass to create 2-5 beads during this workshop.
What to Wear/What to Bring
* cotton clothing preferred
* tie back long hair if necessary
* comfortable closed toe shoes
* a water bottle or beverage (we have filtered water and refrigerator on site but no concessions)
FAQ: people between the ages of 12-17 should be accompanied by an adult/guardian.
