Basic Shapes

The core of this class is troubleshooting. How do I avoid common pitfalls through great technique, but when my technique isn't quite dialed in, how do I fix where a bead has gone wrong? If you are a total beginner, this class will help you develop successful habits. But even if you have been at the torch for a while, this class will help you see the source of your struggles and help you overcome them! Wonky holes, off-center bicones, truly round beads and pendants are all on the table!

Basic Techniques

Now that you have mastered the shapes it is time to add decoration and interest to your beads.  These techniques are just the beginning to unlock your creativity.  Each lesson will introduce new skills such as twisties, encasing, dots and pendants.
