Intro to Beadmaking: Hearts in Fire

We are experiencing technical difficulties with the registration via the website.  To sign up for this class use the direct link HERE.  We apologize for any inconvenience.  Please reach out if you are having trouble signing up and we will work with you to get you registered.

This class will start by exploring the many possibilities of hot glass. Using gravity and provided tools you too will make heart glass beads.

What to Expect: Beadmaking requires a little practice at heat control with the torch to create successful beads. After demonstrations, expect to make between 2 - 6 successful objects in this class, and a couple failures, while gaining confidence and skill in the studio. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page.  

While beadmaking, participants primarily engage in seated activities such as working with glass rods and torches. The environment can be bright and loud at times. Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity. To learn more about accessibility the Accessibility page on our website.

Eligibility: No previous experience required. Open to ages 12 and up.

Pick-up: The glass needs to cool down overnight then be carefully removed from the mandrels, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work. 

This is an in-person class taking place on-site at UrbanGlass. Health and safety guidelines will be emailed to you upon registration.
