About Us
 
 

This introductory, six-hour class exposes students to both kilnworking and glass beadmaking techniques, making it an ideal sampler for people who know they'd like to do something with warm glass but aren't sure what. Neither kilnworking nor beadmaking is covered in as much depth as in our Kilnworking 101 or Lampworking 101 class. No prior glass experience is required.
