LEVEL: Beginner

WHAT TO EXPECT: Lampworking is the art of forming small glass objects from molten glass. In this exciting 3-hour introductory class, students will learn the fundamentals of lampworking, beginning with essential safety guidelines and torch set-up. You’ll be introduced to lampworking tools and colorful glass rods, and guided through the process of melting glass to create your first small beads. These beads can be transformed into a unique pair of earrings or a pendant.

Students will also learn how to make stringers — thin pulled rods of glass used to add surface decoration and fine detail to their beads.

No prior experience is necessary and all materials, equipment, and safety gear is provided.

EXTRAS: Every student will go home with a beautiful handmade piece of jewelry.

DON’T FORGET: Wear close-toed shoes and wear natural fibers (cotton or linen). This class is held in the Flameworks Studio on our Hyannis campus at 250 South St. Park in the big town lot adjacent to our campus.
