Glass bead making, under an open torch, Lampwork.<\/h1>\n

In my next few blog posts, I thought I would remind you of the classes I teach.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

LAMPWORK BEAD MAKING:<\/em><\/span><\/span> This class teaches you how to make your own handmade lampwork or flamework glass beads.\u00a0 Glass rods are melted under an open torch and formed into glass beads.\u00a0 You will learn about expansion of glass, compatible glasses, how to anneal your beads, and much more.\u00a0 $100.00 includes all supplies and use of all tools (you take home your finished beads).\u00a0 This is a one secession class, 5 hours long.\u00a0 The class is limited to three students.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Classes are available by appointment only:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Due to limited space available for teaching, my Classes are limited to 1, 2 or 3 students per class depending on the class.\u00a0 This makes my classes very individualized providing you the one-on-one instruction that you will not receive in a larger class setting.\u00a0 This also allows me to be flexible in my teaching schedule.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Classes are generally weekday evenings, or Saturday during the day or evenings.\u00a0 I can also work with you to fit your class around your schedule.\u00a0 I can arrange a weekday afternoon class if that is the only time you have available.\u00a0 I thoroughly love teaching, so click here to see a list of other classes I teach: http:\/\/creationsbychristina.net\/?page_id=913<\/a><\/span>
