Comprehensive instruction includes how to set up a torch, melt glass rods into beads, and decorate the beads using various techniques. The class includes discussion about creating jewelry with handmade beads, such as necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. 

After this class, students will have the skills and knowledge to continue flameworking independently. Participants will complete as many beads as they are able to create.  All supplies and materials are included with registration.
