Service Description
This is a great activity for the winter holidays! Join us for this fabulous introduction to working with colourful molten glass and creating solid silver findings. This workshop is a great way for absolute beginners to get a taste of working with glass to produce beautiful beads that can be used in a myriad of ways, or those with some experience to up their skill. As one of the earliest forms of human adornment, beads have long functioned as a way to express individuality, and what better way to do that than to learn to make your own unique beads? Students are shown correct lampworking techniques to produce several decorative beads, how many beads you make is up to you, some students make up to 10 while others make fewer using trickier techniques. Students are then shown silversmithing techniques to create their own earring hooks, ways to suspend their beads or add chains to turn their glass creations into wearable jewellery. Teens over 12 are welcome to take the class but anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an enrolled parent or caregiver. Class runs 10am - 4pm with a 20 minute lunch break.
