On a Three Hour Beginners Class we will cover:
- Health and safety aspects of this fascinating hobby
- Types of equipment & tools we will be using on the course
- The various types of glass that lampworkers use
- Then the most exciting part – how to make stringers and twisties
- How to make and decorate lampwork beads
We will cover a lot in the three hour course. Firstly we will cover the health and safety aspect of lampworking and the equipment we will be using, to ensure our safety and to give you confidence. Then we will move on to the most exciting part – making the beads. First I will show you how to make stringers and twisties which we will use to decorate beads – then you will make some. We will then move on to making beads which we will decorate with the stringers and twisties we made at the start of the class You will probably make about 6/8 of your own beads depending on size and complexity, which will be kiln annealed overnight and posted out to you after they have been cleaned. You will also keep all the beads I make during the session. Use of all equipment, tool and materials are included in the price, together with tea, coffee or a soft drink and biscuits.
