There are nine open positions for the 10-week session of hands-on classes, where students learn the art of glass beadmaking and simple jewelry fabrication techniques with an eye toward launching a career as a craftsperson. Upon completion of the course requirements, students receive a kit containing the tools and equipment to continue their beadmaking practice.
