About

Learn to use stringers to push mushroom and jellyfish forms into molten glass.  You’ll have an opportunity to try making these in several colors and finish them as pendants or marbles. You’ll practice putting a backing behind your mushrooms and jellyfish, and adding a bail to make it wearable. You’ll also practice rounding your glass into marbles without distorting the design inside it. You can optionally leave the bail off the pendants and carry them as worry stones or make a set of fridge magnets.
