Intro to Beads: Soft Glass with Cubic Zirconia
November 3rd, 11:00 am – 5:00 pmMaria Aroche |
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.
Students will safely explore the many wonderful qualities of molten COE 104 glass. The goal of the class is to encase Cubic Zirconia gems giving their beads extra sparkle. After a talk on safety and demonstrations students will learn the process of melting colorful glass rods at the torch and using tools to shape the molten material.
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.
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.
We recommend registering for classes early to reserve your spot! We base materials, and teacher needs off of student enrollment. Early registration not only guarantees your spot in class, but also helps to ensure the class will run. Classes with low enrollment may be cancelled within two weeks of the start date of class. Contact our Registrar of Education, Ari Eshoo, at arianna@urbanglass.org if you have questions about the class or would like to arrange a payment plan.
