What we'll do
Learn to Make your own Beads with Moretti Glass In this introductory class, students will learn how to make beautiful glass beads on a mandrel. After a discussion of studio set-up, safety, and demonstrations our experienced instructors will introduce students to the use of heat and gravity to shape molten glass. You will use soft glass, Moretti, to build these colorful glass pieces. The class will alternate between demonstrations and plenty of work time. No experience necessary.
