Hot Glass: Make Glass Beads!

Explore the world of molten glass by creating handmade glass beads!  In this soft glass lampworking camp, you'll work with a torch and glass rods, as you create a series of beads in different shapes, sizes, and colors. We'll cover how to use the torch and tools while following safety protocol. Then, through plenty of hands-on practice, you'll learn basic glass shaping techniques and surface decorations.  With a rainbow of colored glass rods to choose from, the design possibilities are endless! Components will be available to create your own jewelry pieces for your very own.
