About
Learn to make several styles of twisted canes that can be applied to all your other glass creations such as beads and marbles. The instructor will demonstrate several methods and designs, and you'll have time to make them yourself with assistance from the instructor, as desired. Class will be taught with soft glass to maximize productivity during class, but the techniques you'll learn will transfer to borosilicate glass.
Project
