Since June 2006 I have been teaching
beginning bead making courses at Exemplar Glass, in Leominster,
Herefordshire. Learn what you need to know to confidently turn
on an oxygen-propane torch and melt soda glass to create beautiful
beads. All materials will be supplied, along with a delicious
two course lunch and tea breaks. There is lots of interesting
glass work to see and a comprehensive archive of books to browse.
People come from all over the country
to our classes and Leominster has several very nice B&B's
within walking distance to the studio.
I make sure that you understand
the basics of glass beadmaking as well as health and safety aspects
of lampworking. You go home with a set of notes and a list of
all the equipment you would need to set up your own studio. You
can order everything you need from us and we provide a set-up
help service. Contact Jane Ballard at Exemplar Glass here to
