Master Classes

LOREN STUMP 3-Day Murrini at Rebecca's Studio

Standard Classes

I currently offer three introductory lessons for lampwork beadmaking and PMC metal work. I'm a certified PMC instructor and an experienced lampwork artist. I have an M.A. in Art from Central Michigan University and taught art in the Traverse City Public Schools.

The classes are designed to be fun, flexible, informative, and inspiring. The classes are hands-on. You learn by making something that you can take home. All classes take place here at the studio.

Introduction to Lampworking

Lampwork beads

Learn the ancient art of lampwork glass bead making using modern torches, tools, and techniques. This 4-hour lesson takes you through each step: coating the mandrel with bead-release, melting the glass rod in the torch, making the bead, and annealing in a kiln. You will learn and practice techniques for making basic beads shapes, pulling stringers, making dots, and other manipulations. Most students will have time to create 4 to 6 beads during class. All skill levels welcome, 6 students maximum. $80 or less with group discount. To register or inquire, please call (231) 342-1520 or email rebecca@rebeccas-studio.com.

Introduction to PMC: Silver Pendant

All skill levels welcome, 6 students maximum. $70 per person or less with group discount. To register or inquire, please call (231) 342-1520 or email rebecca@rebeccas-studio.com.
