Basic course: making your own glass beads

Show all photos
6 hours (approximately)

You have to experience this to believe, the art of glass bead making is almost extinct. You can learn from us what was once unique in Venice / Murano. Even if it doesn't become your hobby, (which we doubt) the glass will captivate you and you will be fascinated.

Making your own glass beads not only offers the opportunity to create individual pieces of jewelry, but also a deeper understanding of the art and craft of glass technology. We offer a comprehensive course to teach you how to design your own unique glass beads.

Course content
Introduction to the material: Learn more about the material glass used to make beads.
Glass Bead Making Techniques: Immerse yourself in various techniques of traditional glass bead making.

We're rocking this class from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. There really is something for everyone here, no prior knowledge required! If you are interested in glass beads and glass jewelry from the age of 16, you have come to the right place.

Our instructors are absolute professionals and will guide you through the course.

In our well-equipped workshop you will work with a professional two-gas burner and get to know the material.

You spin your own beads from glass rods and are carried away by the fascination of glass and fire. At the end of the day you go home with a handful of beautiful glass beads.
