If you would like to know about lessons and new developments within my glass work, please subscribe.
you can book a lesson by pressing below and selecting the lesson from my shop. Once purchased I will be in touch to confirm a date. I have childcare commitments, and my husband works shifts, so I am unable to advertise regular lesson dates, and it is easier to arrange a date if you contact me to discuss.
If you are unsure of anything, then please get in touch.
Would you like to learn how to make glass beads?
Although referred to as glass bead making, the technique is called lamowork, or lampworking. I provide lampworking lessons for beginners and improvers in Essex. I also have a mobile kit and can discuss teaching or demonstrating at a venue - please get in touch.
Learn how to make unique glass beads. I teach in my home studio.
Lessons will cover the health and safety of working with molten glass, tools used, techniques to make different patterns. One hour is enough to get a feel for working with glass and make 5/6 beads. 2 hours gives enough time to gain further experience and make more beads, or share the experience with a friend.
I have been teaching around my commission work for over 12 years, and I am a skilled and patient trainer. I am fully insured to teach and demonstrate.
Your beads will go into a kiln to be cooled gradually and make them strong. These can be collected or posted,
I can make any of these beads into jewellery at cost, this includes silver cores for charm beads, bracelets, pendants and earrings.
Please contact me for availability I can teach weekdays, evenings and weekends.
A one hour lesson for 1 person is £50, two hours for 1 of 2 people is £80.
Please note there are several large steps to my studio. I also do not teach anyone under the age of 16.
During my available lesson slots, this time can be used to either make your own ashes item, or watch me make an item.
to watch me make the session will cost £150 and 2 larger or 3 smaller items will be made.
to make yourself the session will cost £120 and will include one ashes item made by me and 2-3 made by yourself.
Please note there are several large steps to my studio. I also do not teach anyone under the age of 16.
