Lampworking
Welcome to the world of Glass Beadmaking. The ancient art has over the years moved from a secret world closely guarded with the threat of death, to the more modern approach of sharing it with anyone who wishes to learn. Our workshops will teach you the basics and empower you to be able to rent studio equipment and create your own glass beads. There is a gap workshop that is aimed at teaching you how to effectively set up your own glass studio and the hazards and safety requirements for you to be able to make beads in your own home studio. This section relates to workshops within a commercial studio that is setup as a safe working environment and offers the ability to rent the studio after your workshop to continue your learning.
We have various workshops catering for all levels of learning. The Born to Bead studio (Auckland) and Leadlight studio (Hamilton) both offer the workshops listed below. You must be able to conduct yourself safely in the studio. Reasonable health and mobility in both hands is a requirement to participate. Please check with your doctor if you have any questions.
