About this class

First small pearls

This great workshop is aimed at people who want to learn how a glass bead is made.

You start with a single-gas burner to slowly get to grips with making your pearl. In the second step, you switch to the twin-gas burner to deepen what you have already learned. In the third step, we let your wonderful firsts cool down. If you live nearby, you can come on a second day to clean your pearls and then take them home with you. If you don't live nearby, I'll do the cleaning and then send you your pearls. This service is included in the course fees.

The times given are my suggestions. In general, the studio is available from Monday to Saturday between 09:00 h and 21:00 h. You are also welcome to send me your suggested dates.

What you’ll do in the class

In my studio, you can learn how to make handmade glass beads!

Together, we make wonderful glass beads out of glass rods. We melt the glass rods, turn the molten glass upside down with passion, enjoy the game of flame and wait eagerly for the unique pieces that we produce together. Fire, glass, passion and beauty!

If you've always wanted to learn how to twist/wrap glass beads, then you can confidently put yourself in my creative hands.

In my studio in the south of Cologne, I offer creative and individual glass bead workshops for 1 person. I have deliberately limited the number of participants to one person. Why Because I am firmly convinced that everyone has their own way of learning things. Alone with me, you can develop optimally and learn the art of Gravity & Love while playing.

My experience also shows that the results are more brilliant when we're just the two of us. The knowledge to be imparted is also more compressed.

You and I together in the studio will bring you the greatest possible success.

You will receive a very warm welcome and create beautiful pearls in 4 hours. With the first few pearls, you first learn how the glass behaves and can then soon make the first beads with different colors and decorative points. Betty explains exactly how to proceed and gives you tips for various effects that you can achieve. The course is definitely recommended.

The individual support was nice, as you do the course as an individual.

The workshop was really great! Everything was well explained and the relaxed atmosphere made it easy to try things out. The personal service in particular made the whole thing really pleasant. It was a lot of fun making your first own glass beads — a wonderful and creative experience!

The course was a gift for my 13-year-old daughter. I was there too and was allowed to watch. We were warmly welcomed and provided with drinks. After my daughter was fitted with a work apron and safety glasses, she was briefed on how to use the gas burners. Then it went straight to work. After the first few exercises, my daughter literally made her first small works of art in the blink of an eye! This course is really a great experience!

The course was great. 1 to 1 supervision. Everything explained in an understandable way. Attention is paid to safety. The pace is discussed. You can try a lot and get great results. In a nice atmosphere. I have nothing to complain about.
