About this Event

In this 2-day beginner workshop, participants will learn to craft their own wearable etched beads by using stickers, vinyl, glue, and other materials to create personalized designs. We'll explore bead shapes for etching, experiment with color combinations, and apply techniques to create unique pieces for jewelry and beyond.


What to Expect: Beadmaking requires a little practice at heat control with the torch to create successful beads. After demonstrations, expect to make between 2 - 6 successful objects in this class, and a couple failures, while gaining confidence and skill in the studio. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page.


While beadmaking, participants primarily engage in seated activities such as working with glass rods and torches. The environment can be bright and loud at times. Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity. To learn more about accessibility the Accessibility page on our website.


Eligibility: No previous experience required. Open to ages 12 and up.


Pick-up: The glass needs to cool down overnight then be carefully removed from the mandrels, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work.


This is an in-person class taking place on-site at UrbanGlass. Health and safety guidelines will be emailed to you upon registration.


​We recommend registering for classes early to reserve your spot! We base materials, and teacher needs off of student enrollment. Early registration not only guarantees your spot in class, but also helps to ensure the class will run. Classes with low enrollment may be cancelled within two weeks of the start date of class. Contact our Registrar of Education, Ari Eshoo, at [email protected] if you have questions about the class or would like to arrange a payment plan.
