Overview

Thread molten glass over a hot torch to make your own flame worked beads with flameworking artist, Sarah Murphy.

Learn the basics of flameworking through creating glass beads with vibrant colours taught by an expert beadmaker. Over three hours, participants will learn the basics of beadmaking. This workshop focuses on how to use specialist tools, and techniques of hot glass manipulation including how to make glass threads, pattern application and annealing.

Your teacher: Sarah Murphy, has been working with glass since 2000. Over this time, she has developed her own unique style, incorporating glass into her handcrafted jewellery, which she makes in her studio in Canberra.
