Wired Up Beads :: Classes

Encasing Bootcamp with Ginny Hampton Schmidt, Saturday, May 26

This class is perfect for intermediate lampworkers who would like to improve their encasing skills. In this class, you will learn several different ways to encase beads of nearly any size or shape, the essential keys to encasing your bead without smearing your designs and how to avoid the common pitfalls of encasing mishaps. We will also cover layering techniques that will add stunning depth and dimension to your encased beads.

At the completion of this class you will have made several encased beads to use in your own creations.

All supplies, glass and tools are provided for this class, but students are encouraged to bring their favorite shaping tools, rollers, or marble molds.

We will be working on GTT Cricket torches and Nortel Minor torches, so please wear the safe, appropriate attire for each class session, which includes short-sleeved cotton shirts without pockets, long cotton pants or jeans, and closed shoes. Long hair should be pulled back.
