Advanced Flameworking Class:​
Sculpting a Glass Chain Necklace

Borosilicate Glass | One-Day Intensive
Class Size: Max 2 students
​
Push the boundaries of your glasswork in this advanced-level class at Sage Studios, where you’ll learn to create a fully functional glass chain necklace—link by link, flame by flame.
This project challenges your precision, patience, and technical control as you shape, connect, and anneal a wearable glass chain made from borosilicate glass. It’s a meditative and rewarding process that will elevate your sculptural and structural skills to the next level.
What you’ll learn:

• Designing and planning a glass chain layout
• Forming consistent, clean, and uniform links
• Timing and flame control for shaping and sealing loops
• Linking pieces seamlessly during the flamework process
• Annealing considerations for strength and durability
• Optional color work and texturing techniques
• Attaching a clasp or incorporating an all-glass closure

You’ll leave class with a handmade, one-of-a-kind glass chain necklace—sculptural, wearable, and entirely your own (after kiln time).
