Saturday and Sunday, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm each day

This two-day workshop will be filled with a myriad of demonstrations on more advanced torchworking techniques. Demonstrations will include, but are not limited to, how to intentionally create bubbles as part of your design, how to use clear stringers to create mysterious effects, and how to use compatible enamels in your beads. We’ll also demonstrate various ways of using frits, how to etch and sandblast your beads, and how to make and use latticino (twisties) in your beads. An added bonus – you’ll have a chance to experiment with a variety of bead presses and shapers!

There will be plenty of time for personal exploration during the workshop.

Prerequisite: A comfortable knowledge of the techniques of making glass beads at the torch. Intermediate level
