1 Day Glass Bead Making Courses 2012

with Liz Guilmant-Cush

Saturday May 12th 2012

Learn the ancient art and absorbing skill of glass bead making as made famous by the Italians on the island of Murano. Glass beads can be used for all sorts of jewellery, textiles and crafts.

Liz, from Dorset, is an experienced glass bead maker and tutor. Her work is featured in several local galleries and has taught beadmaking for nearly 2 years.

During this course aimed at beginners you will learn to form a round bead, basic shaping and decoration techniques.

Glass beads are made by melting thin glass rods in a torch flame and winding the melted glass around a steel rod.

You will have sole use of a hothead torch and a selection of tools to make your first collection of beads.
