20-Hour Complete Course 495.00 Euro 

12-Hour Standard Course 295.00 Euro

9-Hour Course 235.00 Euro

6-Hour Course 165.00 Euro

All courses touch on a whole series of important techniques such as gravity balance, encasement, stringer decoration, working with gold & silver etc. The 20-hour course allows for even more focused attention on each, in addition to more time for creating your own designs.

Class size is limited to 2 students, which allows for personalized assessment, feedback, instruction and supervision.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our instruction packages include all the materials necessary to complete the course, as well as a 10% discount on items sold in our store, including beading supplies, lampworking supplies, finished jewelry etc. At course end we also supply each student with access to a web page containing a list of all the items needed to set up your own glass bead making studio, with links directly to a number of different bead making supply companies and lampwork forums. We are proud to say that many of our students have continued on from our 12-hour course to set up their own studios, starting their own businesses making and selling glass beads and designer jewelry. (For student comments, please visit our Testimonials page)

Each session is limited to 4 hours. We've found it's at that point that students tend to tire and productivity wanes. We can schedule up to two sessions per day, once in the morning, and once after lunch. The 12-hour course is generally completed in 2 or 3 days. The 9-hour course can be squeezed into one day but is best completed in two. The 6-hour course can be completed in either 1 or 2 days.

When writing to register for a course, please include the following information in your contact email:

*Which type of course and duration (Example: Private, 20-hour course or Group, 9-hour course)

*Desired dates (with morning or afternoon preference stated)

A non-refundable 100.00 Euro deposit is required to hold the dates you select (20-Hour course deposit is 200.00 Euro). We do this because pre-booking is a very important part of how we find clients and last-minute cancellations leave holes in the schedule that are difficult to fill. For those of you registering in advance of your arrival, we can provide you with a way to pay the deposit online via our secure server. You will need to create an account at BeadedLily.com to take advantage of this option.

Please visit our Course Description page for a complete description of our beadmaking course.
