Soft Glass: Gravity Beads

About the event

Beadmaking in glass is a little bit of physics, a little bit of chemistry, and a lot of art. Rotation, parallel handling , gravity and heat all come into play in this exciting beadmaking technique.

Who is this for: Adults

What you will gain: This workshop will teach you how to manipulate glass with heat and gravity to create beautiful stripes and shifts in color and patterns. You'll come out of it with your own special little glass beads, and new knowledge on one of the world's most ancient crafts.
