This engaging 4-hour class will introduce techniques for making glass beads with a torch. Often called lampworking or flameworking, this practice dates back to the ancient Egyptians.
Suitable for complete beginners and those with prior experience, students will enhance both their technical and design skills. Comprehensive instruction includes how to set up a torch, melt glass rods into beads, and decorate the beads using various techniques. The class includes a 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.
Note: Melting glass requires high temperatures, and students will be required to wear protective glasses (these are lightweight, easy to see through, and remove the intensity of the flare from the flame). Long pants and closed shoes are suggested.

Students will use ceramic underglazes to paint unique designs onto newsprint and then transfer that artwork to a clay slab.
This workshop utilizes project-based learning and students will learn both to decorate and construct their clay slabs into handbuilt cylinder forms, a great structure for cups, small planters, pen holders, and more. Students’ underglaze-decorated objects will be fired and finished with a clear glaze, ready for pick-up at The Dairy Barn in 2-3 weeks.
