One-Day Christmas-New Year Themed Bead Workshop on December 25th

We’re starting to learn bead making, one of the flame working techniques, with basic shaping techniques. Beads can be shaped freely by hand and with mold shaping techniques, and they can be diversified with various decoration methods. This type of work is the fundamental step for thousands of different processes that can be applied.

The most basic process of bead making is to create a perfect sphere. A sufficiently sized ball is formed by continuously turning glass rods in the flame, and it is created by wrapping it around a steel rod previously coated with bead separator. In this one-day workshop, after learning the creation of basic shapes such as triangles, cubes, cylinders, and flat forms, we will add techniques for creating various Christmas-New Year-themed glass beads using dotting and line techniques.
