In this three session class, you will learn how to make hollow beads in soft glass,
including using a puffy mandrel. You will apply your disc making skills to build discs to
connect to form the hollow bead. We will do hollows on regular mandrels and then using
the puffy mandrels and a blow hose. (Puffy Mandrels and Blow hoses will be provided for you to keep.)

Prerequisite: Introduction to Beadmaking or equivalent. Addition hours of torching
experience are recommended. (Can you make a disc bead?)
