Experience the magic of working with Murano glass and create your own original artisan beads in my studio.
Perfect for an engaging and creative day, either solo for some precious personal time, or with friends or family, this class will unlock your creativity through exploring the techniques of crafting beautiful beads by melting and shaping murano glass.
You'll discover a craft that is mindful, challenging and engaging whilst creating something unique you'll enjoy wearing for years to come.
I've welcomed and worked with both professional makers and absolute beginners sharing our passion and curiosity for 'glassbeadmaking.' So if you are looking for interactive and fun craft workshops / glass making workshops whether you are in Belfast, Dublin, anywhere on the island of Ireland or further afield I'd love to welcome you to the studio. I've taught glass art enthusiasts from Northern Ireland and as far away as Germany who travel to County Down to experience my workshops.
