Welcome to Open Flame Glass

Open Flame Glass is a welcoming lampwork studio dedicated to introducing beginners to the art of glass beadmaking. Our studio offers hands-on classes designed to create a supportive and engaging learning environment for all participants.

Held in my studio in Parau, West Auckland.

Small-Group Learning Environment

Each session is thoughtfully limited to a maximum of two participants, ensuring individual attention and an intimate, collaborative atmosphere. Under clear and patient instruction, you will become comfortable with safe torch operation, learn essential shaping techniques, and explore various methods of surface decoration.
