Classes

Murrini Madness

During this one (or two) day event, you will learn how to create your own murrini. Using Effetre glass you will create a design in cross section at the torch, heating the molten mass, and then pulling into a rod. Much like pulling taffy, this technique draws the design down into miniature, so you can slice the cane and add it to your work for fine detail.

Experience necessary. Only simple cane can be demonstrated in a one day class.

Sculptural Beads

During this one-day workshop you will learn how to sculpt a 3 dimensional figure or face using coloured Effetre glass rods and a minor bench burner. Some experience necessary.

Red Hot New Course

2 Day Lampwork Beadmaking
