Beginner Flameworking: Glass Beads

In this 3 hour class you’ll use a small torch to shape colorful glass rods into beautiful beads! You’ll learn about:

• flameworking equipment and safety
• shaping glass with heat and gravity
• using metal tools including pliers, dental picks, and the table itself

No experience needed, all materials are provided. Come as a beginner, leave prepared to continue making glass beads at home (or at Lansing Makers Network!) on your own.
