Worry Stone Hearts

A worry stone is a small object whose whole job is to be handled, and glass turns out to be an excellent material for it.

Using a simple off-mandrel technique with 104 COE glass, students make multiple small hearts sized to sit in a palm or a pocket. They work as fidget stones, as gifts, or as the reason to finally use the lampwork skills you learned and then let go rusty.

Good to know. A beginner lampwork class is a prerequisite for this one. $115 for the session, in the Glass Studio at 273 Whisconier Road. Prices and openings change, so check the registration page before you plan around it.
