This is a fun activity in Burton upon Trent, Derby
This is a full-day introduction to the fascinating world of flame working glass, to create your very own masterpieces to take home.
To begin, we will use an oxy-propane lampwork torch to explore flame working. We will guide you to make several styles of stringers, thin strands of glass used for decoration later, and twists while you become accustomed to working with a flame.
We will then move on to make a number of glass beads and charms in several different styles.
Finally, we will try glass blowing, a small Christmas bauble.
Don't worry if you're new to working with glass – we will provide step-by-step instruction to guide you and demonstrate each step first to ensure you feel confident and inspired throughout the activity. You'll be amazed at how quickly you pick up the techniques and start creating your own unique design.
