The Rochester Arc + Flame Center’s Glass Bead Sampler is the perfect class to learn how to make glass beads or improve your technique. Working with soft glass and flame, you will learn skills such as how to light a torch, adjust a flame, stretch, gather, cut, & fuse soft glass rods into beautiful designs. Each student will make at least 5 beads that will be added to a keepsake. Choose from a wide variety of colors, add textures, and let your creativity melt into your artwork.
Our experienced instructors will use a combination of lecture, demonstration, and hands-on instruction to enhance your learning experience. This class is great for beginners and experienced flame workers!
All safety equipment, tools, and glass materials are included in the course price.
Note: Because glass pieces must be annealed to avoid damage, class projects will be ready for pickup approximately 1 week after the class.
