The San Miguel School of Lampwork
is offering a
3 Day Workshop
teaching the art of
GLASS BEAD MAKING

          This Workshop is for all experience levels. Enrollment is limited to 4 students, providing each student plenty of one on one time with the instructor. This allows the new Artist the freedom to move at their own pace and in their own direction.

          The 3 Day Workshop is a prerequisite to all other workshops offered by the San Miguel School of Lampwork. Upon completion if the 3 Day Workshop, the student is qualified to use the Schools Lampwork studio on a regular basis. Except when workshops are held, the School is open (by appointment) Monday thru Friday 10:00am to 4:00pm. The cost of the Workshop is $1925 Pesos and that includes all material costs.

          Glass, as well as other tools and supplies, is available for purchase at the school. Torch station rental fee is $120 pesos per hour. This fee includes all the tools, oxygen, propane and kiln use. The fee does not  include glass or mandrels. There is definitely a market for Glass Beads and the serious Artist can produce many Beads in an hour.

          This 3 Day Workshop is designed to produce successful Artists regardless of their experience level entering the Workshop. On the last day of class we will spend the last hour making a simple necklace or bracelet with the some of the beads we made in class. The Artist leaves the Workshop with a piece of Jewelry they can be proud of. All the materials (except your beads, of course) will be provided.

          The best part of this Workshop is when it's over you are just beginning! To have the studio for your personal use, at a minimal cost, is a real blessing. Come and discover the wonderful world of Glass Bead Making!
