Abstract Beads: A Journey In Soft Glass

About the event

Despite being tiny objects associated with necklaces, bracelets, and other forms of wearable art, beads are considered one of the oldest forms of abstract expression. Learn the basics of this ancient art in our in-depth workshop!

Who is this for: Adults

What you will gain: You'll learn how to create and shape basic beads using glass rods and heat. You'll learn how to control the heat to melt glass objects into your desired forms. You'll also learn how to apply stringers to create abstract designs and colorful patterns on your handmade beads!

Notes

Safety Guidelines: Dress Conveniently: Cotton clothes are the way to go since they’re less flammable. Steer clear of synthetic abayas and thawbs. Please ensure your clothing fits snugly, especially with long sleeves, to minimize risks and ensure your safety. Aprons Provided: You will be provided with an apron that must be worn at all times in the studio to protect your clothing. Jewelry and Watches: Please remove any dangling jewelry and bulky watches to prevent accidents during the workshop. Hair Safety: If you have long hair, we ask that you tie it back securely. Footwear: Closed, covered shoes are a must – no flip flops or sandals allowed. Avoid Perfume: Please refrain from wearing perfume during the workshop as it is flammable.
