Description

Perfect for those with beadmaking experience. Instructor, Sheila Checkoway, builds on your solid foundation and fundamentals of soft glass manipulation. Students will learn these enhanced glass bead skills through instructor demonstrations, discussions and lots of hands-on torch time. Students will complete many beads with these various techniques.

All materials are included.

Day One focuses on improving how you wrap hot glass, mastering the bicone shape elongated and stubby, applying surface texture in various ways, using copper and silver foils for a verdigris finish.
Day Two includes making hollow glass beads with the disc method, and applying texture for a melon shape bead, learning to use reduction glass with encasing and techniques.

Each day includes seven workshop hours with a one hour-lunch break and stretch breaks.

What to Expect:

Flameworking requires a little practice at heat control with the torch to create successful pieces.
After demonstrations, expect to make some successful objects in this class, and a couple failures, while gaining more confidence and skill in the studio.

Eligibility:

Students must have 1-2 years beadmaking experience with soft glass COE 104
are comfortable with the torch
able to load and wrap glass into bead shapes
and able to remove beads from mandrels.

Pick-up:

The glass needs to cool down overnight, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work.
