Hi everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster.
One of the great hidden gems of San Diego is the UC San Diego Crafts Center. Ok, I’m biased since I’ve been going there for the past few years. I wanted to let everyone in the SoCal region know of the upcoming classes. Classes are held on various dates between July and September.

Click the ‘Classes and Workshops’ tab and select the ‘Flameworking’ menu item.
For Summer Quarter we have the following lampwork classes.
Beginning Glass Bead Making
Beginning/Intermediate Borosilicate (Pyrex) Flamework
Intro to Borosilicate (Pyrex) Flamework
Lampwork Glass Studio Membership 1
Lampwork Glass Studio Membership 2
There are other classes as well, glass blowing, ceramics, jewelry, etc. Lots of great teachers and topics!
In full disclosure, I am a staff member at UCSD, but not for the Crafts Center. However, I am the TA for the Saturday lampwork studio….and I would really like for it to happen again this quarter.
Thanks everyone!
