2 Half Days and one Full Day
€280
This workshop is ideal for beginners to advanced glass beadmakers interested in broadening their flameworking skills and finding creative new uses for small glass elements. Students should have some flameworking experience and understand how hot glass moves
In this hands-on flameworking workshop, enjoy transforming soft glass into delicate wire-mounted floral elements. This is a great way to use up those end shorts and twisty bits!
You’ll learn to create leaves, pods, buds and blossoms for jewelry, sculptural accents, or embellishing stained and fused glass projects.
Through guided demonstrations and practice, you’ll gain confidence in shaping glass by hand with basic tools. Instruction will emphasize practical forming techniques that do not rely on specialized presses (although you’re welcome to use your own).
We will discuss ideas for creative components for jewelry, wreaths, wall vases, and miniature sculptures. Lots of ideas to add spark and inspire your designs!
