Lampwork (Bead-making)

• I offer lampworking classes at my studio, including:

  • beginner ($125 Cnd.),

  • intermediate ($150 Cnd.), and

  • advanced ($175 Cnd.) skill levels.

• Classes are usually 3 hours long, and are focussed on developing specific glasswork techniques. You will make between 5-7 beads during the class.

• The HotHead propane torch is used for all class levels, although a Nortel Minor set up is available for those who are familiar with working on a dual-fuel torch.

• All materials (glass, frit, gas, tools, foil) used during the class are included in the cost. Beginner kits are available for purchase after the class.  Safety/setup instructions are critical to this artform, and therefore gladly offered.

• Classes are private individual instruction only, arranged by appointment.
