Polymer clay Millefiori Beads

Millefiori is a technique primarily in glassworking and translates to "a thousand flowers" It is a simple proccess that involves repeated folding, rolling and stretching of clay to create intricate 3D patterns called 'canes'. The designs run through the cane in a long coil.. this coil is then cut into smaller segments to reveal the design on the inside. 

These classes are geared toward ages 6-12. older kids are welcome as well.

You can drop off the kiddos, while you go run errands or take a well-deserved parent break (classes are one and a half hours )  You can also stay if you wish to help your youngsters if you feel they might need it. If you wish to do your own little project along with them we ask that you purchase an additional ticket when you arrive to help cover those extra materials costs.
