Star will show you how to make your own beads, using glass rods and the Minor bench burner. The surface mix burner will be used with Propane and Oxygen. This class will cover safety and basic lamp-working techniques. How to shape a bead and different decorating applications such as dots, stripes, raking and surface applications will be covered in this class, including working with foil, Dichroic and assorted frits, enamels and mica. 

Star will dazzle you with more advanced bead making techniques. Like sculpturing, fuming, etc. You must have prior torch experience to take this class. 

This is going to be a fun class!! Star will show you many new ways to do your beads, but as an added bonus, she will have available for you to try……. NEW Cabochon Mandrels!! Gotta take the class to see this one! 

In this fascinating class, you will learn a unique immersion process; Painting With Fire! This is the fastest, safest, least expensive type of enameling available. No experience required. No need for a kiln. ALL supplies and tools provided by your instructor. Students will be able to enamel a bead within 2 minutes and by the end of this workshop, will leave with enough beads to create a bracelet or necklace. WOW! This is instant gratification at it's best!! 

You will be using the Painting With Fire process to include working with decals, frit, whiskers, painting designs, color swirls & stencils. WOW! You will be truly stunned at the creations and goodies you have made!
