Flameworking
Ages: 10 and up

It's summertime and a great time to try something new!  Bring your kids to
Bay Area Glass Institute for a taste of glass behind the torch, in our
flameworking studio.  Each student will learn the fundamentals of flameworking a glass bead, working with a treasure chest of colors!  We will work with a metal rod called a mandrel, and melt glass in the flame, to wrap around this rod and create a bead.  These beads can be later used in a jewelry design, or as an embellishment on a picture
frame or anything else you can think of!  No experience required!
