Introduction to Beadmaking

Prerequisites: None

This class introduces you to melting soft glass with a torch to make beads. You’ll wind molten glass on mandrels and achieve your desired shape by using heat control and tools to manipulate the glass.

Vocabulary, resources, safety and tools & equipment will also be covered. Upon completion, your skill level should enable you to work independently and you may rent torch time at BAGI.

Almost every class or experience is open to anyone ages 8 and up, except those in the Flameworking studio.

An adult must accompany children between the ages of 8 and 15. *Unless they attend one of our designated youth camps.
