Event description
An introduction to bead making using torches with artist Zoe Garner.
In this half-day class, you will use soft glass coloured rods to form circular beads by pulling glass stringers and using these to apply patternation to the surface of the bead. Using smooth and textural designs, let your imagination take over and create your very own designer bead. Our glass flameworking class offers a unique opportunity to explore your creativity and create beautiful glass art.
Beads you make have to be annealed overnight, so you will have to come back to pick up your work. Delivery options are available.
