A bead press is a small shaping tool that allows flameworkers to mold or “squeeze” bits of hot glass to produce specific shapes. In this class, you will learn how to use a bead press to produce lentil-shaped beads. You will also explore producing these beads using a variety of methods and materials. These include making them half transparent and half opaque; layering colors for depth; incorporating swirls, raised dots, plunged bubbles, implosions, wraps, rakes and silver leaf; and electroforming. The instructor will bring a variety of bead presses for students to view and discuss. Prerequisite: At least one class in flameworked glass.
