Students will learn how to work molten glass into beautiful glass beads using a torch. David will walk students through the process of designing and encasing beads as well as making multiples. Using all colors of glass, students will learn more about design and glass forming techniques to create their own one-of-a-kind pendants, flame-worked marbles, and flame-worked sculptures. For registered students, there will be two open studios on Thursday nights from 6:00 pm. to 8:00 pm. These will give students more time to practice their flame-working techniques.
