If there is time, we will make a floral bead of your imagining to learn how to apply the cane once it has been created.                                                                                               

IMPORTANT: Students taking glass courses using a torch must wear natural fiber clothing (i.e., cotton shirt and denim jeans), closed-toe shoes, and hair tied back and out of the way.
