Featured Class: Bead Making Level 1

 

This class will introduce you to the process of using a lampworking torch to create glass beads, which you can then use in jewellery designs. In this class, Cathy will teach you all of the basic techniques used when forming a glass bead using a lampworking torch, in addition to making and applying stringers, raking, and feathering. Tuition for this class includes the use of the tools required. Students will receive a $40.00 discount off of the cost of purchasing the torch head that they used on the day of the class. This class runs on Saturday, January 28th from 10am until 4pm.

If you have previous bead making experience, check out our Bead Making Level 2 class!
