In this class students will learn to create 3D floral murrini cane which can then be embedded and encased in both beads and marbles. At the torch students will develop the ability to handle larger masses of glass and pull delicate flower cane. Overall design and encasement techniques will be an integral part of this class, as well as the use of a variety of glasses for a vibrant color palate.

A special discounted rate for this masterclass is available to all Loretta Studio members! Studio members, if you have not already received it, please email us for your discount code.

Bring your own favourite tools (tweezers, mashers, etc.). Glass and use of all specialized tools for this class is included.

This workshop is targeted towards students with moderate to advanced soft glass experience looking to increase their arsenal of skills. If you are unsure that you meet the requirements, please send us an email.

Due to the nature of glass, students will have to return to pick up their finished pieces after they have been annealed.

Carol Ann Savage lives in Toronto, Ontario, where she is active in the community as a glass artisan and professional musician. She performs regularly as principal flute with the Mississauga Symphony Orchestra and has taught for many years at Upper Canada College. 

Savage has enjoyed sharing her glass skills in many studios across North America and as far away as Thailand. Working mostly in soft glass, she has also explored combining her small pieces with larger cast forms. She is a Director at Large for the International Society of Glass Beadmakers. Her work can be found in the Corning Museum of Glass Shops and galleries across Ontario. She was the first-prize recipient of the 2022 "Your Bead for Venice" competition.
