Borosilicate Straws

About This Course

Are you struggling with what size tubing to use for the standard glass drinking straw? Are you struggling with adding designs to your straws?  Is it overwhelming, frustrating, and leaves you with less than desirable results at the end of all your efforts?   I used to have the same results. 
 
In this course, you will learn how to make 5 different and fun designs onto glass straws.  And I will share my secrets on how to make the straws stay open, and the glass decorations fused well to the glass.
 
Having quality work to send to your customers and share with your family and friends, will promote a sense of durability and longevity that they will appreciate purchasing or using your handmade glass work.

This is a great combination of a project driven course and a technique driven course.  
You will learn how to make and use my special tool to help you create the perfect straw. You will learn how to cut the tubing with many different methods. And you will learn how to add 5 different designs to your straws.
