    Make it! Journey Beads (June 2)

    $70.00

    Thursday June 2

    6pm – 8pm

    Join us for a fun introduction to “Journey Beads“! This 2-hour class is designed to give you a hands-on way to support the program while enjoying a fun night in our studio. You’ll learn to melt colorful rods of glass to a mandrel over a torch, as our experienced artists lead you through the process of creating some of the basic beads used in the program. Please note: this class does not automatically qualify you as an official Journey Beads volunteer bead-maker, but can be used as the first step on that path. For those that wish to continue on and become official Journey Beads volunteer bead makers, this class makes you eligible for our 2-day Official Journey Beads Training Course.

    To book your spot, click on the date of the event below (June 2), choose an available session, and click “Book Now”:

    MORE ABOUT THE JOURNEY BEADS PROGRAM:

    Every child diagnosed with cancer embarks on a journey shaped by struggles and triumphs. Bronson Children’s Hospital and Glass Art Kalamazoo have developed the Journey Beads program to give courage to pediatric patients as they experience the struggles and triumphs of their disease. Journey Beads symbolize significant milestone in a child’s cancer treatment. Each bead is a celebration of progress and a powerful story telling tool.

    This year Bronson has requested more beads than ever before, and the brave children undergoing treatment need our help. It is our goal to increase the Journey Beads volunteer pool in order to meet the rising need and develop the scope of our programs. We hope you will join us for this great opportunity to learn about glass art and help our community!
