This five-day class will concentrate on lampworking techniques, techniques, and more techniques! The first four days students will work on shaping a well-balanced bead using gravity, heat control, and various tools. Students will make their own design components such as stringers, pulling canes, murrini, and blowing shards. All participants will learn silver fuming, setting cubic zirconia, and the basics of silver reduction and striking glass. This class will focus on bead design and surface decorations. Day five is reserved for practice and designing each student’s own bead and style using the techniques learned, with individual-focused help where needed. Everyone will take home their own glass bead creations, much inspiration, and new knowledge of how to expand their bead-making creativity! Lisa encourages students to have some lampworking experience.
