Making beach glass jewelry.

Naturally produced beach glass originates as pieces of glass from broken bottles, broken tableware, or even shipwrecks, are rolled and tumbled in Lake Erie for years until all of their edges are rounded off, and the slickness of the glass has been worn to a frosted appearance. It can take 7-10 years in a constant surf environment for glass to "become" beach glass.

Come to this fun class and learn how to find and make jewely from beach glass.

To make jewely from your beach glass begin by placing the piece of beach glass in the middle of a sponge and holding it down with your thumb and index finger. With the Dremel on at the lowest speed, carefully place the drill bit on the beach glass. Initially keeping the glass above the water will help the drill bit begin the hole.
