Beginner Flameworking I:

Flameworking is a type of glasswork in which a small torch, mounted to table, is used to melt rods of glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is shaped using hand movements, tools and sometimes by blowing. In this 1 ½ hour introduction you will receive personal step-by-step instruction on creating a beginner level flameworking piece such as a pendant, marble, or sculptural work. We will cover safety, use of tools, and color application.
