Learn all the fundamental skills to make beautiful charm beads in this two-hour flame shop class on the torch. For the first hour, students will focus on “filler beads.” Building up hand skills, experiencing how the glass moves, shaping the bead using gravity and heat, and adding color with frit (crushed colored glass).
Once students are comfortable with the process, we will switch to creating “focal beads” using solid colored rods of Effetre Moretti glass and practice various shapes, sizes, and decorative elements. Once the glass has cooled overnight, students will walk away with a handful of beads and a brain full of knowledge to play with!
