Adrian Center for the Arts

Beginning / Intermediate Beadmaking

6 Sundays: July 26th, August 2nd, 9th, 16th 23rd & 30th

9:00am – 12:00pm 

This class is a perfect introduction to the art of flameworking, as well as a supportive space for continuing students to refine their skills. We will focus on building a strong foundation—learning how to control molten glass while creating clean, well-shaped beads.

Students will explore different methods of forming beads on the mandrel, along with shaping techniques, dot application, and simple pattern design. Emphasis is placed on consistency, control, and understanding how glass behaves in the flame.

Whether you are brand new or looking to strengthen your fundamentals, this class offers a relaxed and creative environment to grow your skills in glass.
