About this Event

In this 3-hour workshop, students will be using soft glass/COE 104 and will explore techniques with a special focus on using different shapes to create a mini Xmas collection, which you may wish to use on your holiday tree. Together we’ll go over techniques like working with graphite paddles and controlling temperature on and off the torch. After a basic safety discussion, students will learn to create a small collection of Xmas theme glass beads in fun, organic shapes and a rainbow of colors.


What to Expect:. Beadmaking requires a little practice at heat control with the torch to create successful beads. Students can anticipate making 2-6 successful pieces in this class, along with some failures, while also refining their skills in translating a specific object (in this case, fruit and fungi!) into glass. Clean-up time is included in the duration of class, and usually the last 20 minutes of class are dedicated to cleaning your workstation. 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
