Basic course: making your own glass beads
Overview
You have to experience this to believe, the art of glass bead making is almost extinct. You can learn from us what was once unique in Venice / Murano. Even if it doesn't become your hobby, (which we doubt) the glass will captivate you and you will be fascinated.
Making your own glass beads not only offers the opportunity to create individual pieces of jewelry, but also a deeper understanding of the art and craft of glass technology. We offer a comprehensive course to teach you how to design your own unique glass beads.
