Flameworking: Make Glass Beads!

Flameworking or lampworking is the art of creating decorative beads of glass using a dual-fuel torch. In this camp you'll work with a torch and Italian soft glass, as you create a series of beads in different shapes, sizes, and colors. We'll cover how to use flameworking tools and equipment and follow safety protocol. Then, through plenty of hands-on practice, you'll learn basic glass manipulation, shaping techniques and surface decoration. You'll create a collection of unique handcrafted glass beads to then fabricate jewelry, sculpture, sun-catchers....the possibilities are endless.
