Examples

 

In this 16 hour class, we will be covering the off mandrel basics using borosilicate glass. Students will learn to use heat and gravity to shape their pieces. We will focus on how to read the heat base in the glass, so we are anticipating its movement and not just reacting to it. Encasing and layering of boro color to achieve bright beautiful results will be covered. We will learn hearts and several different implosions... along with other pendants and techniques as time allows. If you are interested in off mandrel boro pendants or getting beautiful results from boro color, this class is for you.

Everyone loves rings!!  Now make your own silver ring and add a touch of your style and special sparkle with glass accents.  Learning to make a ring shank will open a lot of design doors for you and adding glass just makes it better!

* Please see note at top, as these will be fired hot enough to move the glass.  Any glass covered with plain glass will turn yellow from the reaction with the silver.
