Workshops Glass.
Unfortunately, due to the current COVID-19 measures, it is not possible to give good quality workshops at a distance of 1.5 metres. We hope that everyone stays healthy and that we can be of service to you again in time.
Occasionally Studio Jackaroo (located at Beugen NL) opens its doors to enthusiastic people who have already become acquainted with the flamework technique. A workshop day will involve working at the torch while Jacky Geurts takes you into her world to share her knowledge with you. For example, think of (for the bead makers among us) “a fiery adventure with lady’s torso” In which, as the title implies, you will see the glass female torso emerge from the flame. But also for example “Flowers from a bubble”, Fantasy flowers blown out of tube glass. this workshop is still in development. There are, of course, many more topics that can be addressed.The studio accommodates 3 students, and has 3 different oxygen burners.
The course fee depends on the type of workshop.
If you are with 3 enthusiastic students there is always the possibility to plan a workshop. If you would like more information, or would like to make an appointment, please contact us.

To add your own style to your work, No tricks. where everyone learns the same techniques, that are used all over the world. Which with time and practice can give so many different results. (For example: Robert Mickelson, Micah Evans, Ronin Dagan, and duo Anne Jeitz and Alain Caliste, if you don’t know them, look them up). Sculpture work, jewelry can all be done with these techniques.The morning program consists of exercises, in which feeling with borosilicate glass, and learning techniques are what we will be working at. You will learn to appreciate the characteristic of borosilicate glass, in order to use it in the future. In the afternoon you work under supervision, on a simple own design.
