This 8-week lampworking course is a continuation of the Lampworking 101. Designed for those who have taken the 101 class and want to carry on with more practice and more techniques. (Students who want to take 201 but have taken other courses instead of the 101 are invited to talk to the instructor about pre-requisites.) Plenty of practice time for each technique will be included. Each student will have their own torch to work at.

Topics covered will be driven by student interests and may include (but are not limited to)...

  • Off-mandrel Pendants
  • 3-D Flowers
  • Vessels
  • Sculptural beads, goddesses, turtles and shells
  • The distortion effect, triangles and stripes
  • Bead presses
  • Mixing your own colours
  • Reduction frit, pixie dust
  • Sheet glass, Bullseye and stained glass scrap
  • Using commercial murrini
  • Large mandrels and the creation of rings
  • Drawer pulls

The beads made in class will be kiln-annealed and will be available for pick-up the following business day, or at the next class date.

Please wear cotton fabric clothing, long, tight-fitting sleeves, old jeans, and if you have long hair, please tie it back. Safety glasses are provided.
