Glass Bouquet

Part I of this class is making glass flower headpins using a variety of lampworking skills. Techniques include winding glass, dots, pulling, smashing, cutting, swiping, and more. This is a great intermediate lampworking class. Experimentation will be encouraged. Part II of this class, on Sat. Nov. 7, from 10am to 2pm, will be making seed bead “greenery” using French beaded flower techniques. Participants will then put their components together with floral tape and use a small “frog” to display their bouquet. Instructor: Karen Kubby. Prerequisite: Lampworking experience.
