About
Learn to use compression techniques to create intricate designs in borosilicate glass marbles and pendants. You'll pull stringers, make a flat surface to use as a “canvas,” and add dots and lines to create patterns that will be coaxed into the depths of molten glass to form layered petals and other forms.
Details
Experience level: Intermediate. You should be comfortable using the torch, and ideally have practice making marbles. Class will be taught using borosilicate glass but students with experience making soft glass marbles also are welcome.
Materials
- A $15 materials fee, included in the price of the class, covers everything you need.
- You're welcome to bring any of your favorite tools or additional boro glass you may want to use.
Prerequisites
You should have completed an introductory class such as Intro to Marbles or Bead Bootcamp. Additional practice at a torch prior to this class is highly encouraged.
