Service Description
Get into the festive spirit and make something genuinely special with glass! Taught by experienced local glass-maker Emily Napolitano, this four-week course will introduce you to the basics of lampwork bead making while creating beautiful, colourful beads with the festive season in mind. Whether you’d like to make a unique handmade gift for someone you love or create something beautiful just for yourself, this is a lovely way to explore the magic of working with molten glass. You’ll learn how to use the tools correctly, gain a solid understanding of the lampwork process, and discover simple ways to turn your handmade beads into wearable jewellery and other special gifts. The course is suitable for absolute beginners as well as those with some previous experience. Course cost includes set materials; extra glass is available to purchase. Please note: this class involves gas torches and molten glass. Participants 13+ are welcome but everyone under 16 must be accompanied by an enrolled parent or caregiver. With only 8 places available per class, book early and make this Christmas a handmade one!
