Introduction to Glass Bead Making, Nortel Manufacturing Ltd.
Introduction to Glass Bead Making (8) Beginner
Come learn the basics of winding hot molten glass around a mandrel, creating classic bead shapes, placement of dots, pulling and using a stinger as you work on a Nortel® classic minor bench burner (a surface mix torch). Receive an overview of glass, tools, equipment and enjoy demonstrations on the use of tab beads, encasing and bead presses. Expect to take home (the next day – needs time to cool) a small amount of your own creations. As the class involves the use of an open flame, please wear 100% natural fibre (cotton), non-flammable clothing. Premium Fee $25 includes materials. www.nortelmfg.com
