Mess Around & Find Out — Beginner Flameworking Taster Class

Saturdays Only • Ages 18+ • Limited to 4 Students

Ready to stick your hands near fire… safely? Mess Around & Find Out is the perfect zero-pressure introduction to the world of flameworking. Designed specifically for complete beginners, this class focuses on exploring the torch, getting comfortable with the tools, and learning how molten glass reacts when heat, gravity, and curiosity collide.

Your instructor will kick things off with a safety chat and a tour of the equipment—what everything is, what it does, and how not to accidentally invent new hairstyles. From there, each student will have their own torch and work independently as the teacher guides the group through simple drills and foundational techniques.

Think of it like glass-yoga for your hands: building muscle memory, experimenting with heat control, and discovering the thrill of shaping molten glass. Some students may walk out with a tiny treasure to keep. Others may simply embrace the beautifully imperfect process and leave with a brand-new skill (and probably a few good stories).

This class is all about trying something totally new, having fun, and letting go of the pressure to “make something perfect.” Consider it your flameworking sampler platter—just enough heat, technique, and play to see if you’re hooked.
