Seaglass Fundamentals
Seaglass is a gift that comes from the water created by glass that was once thrown into the tumult of the wild and powerful ocean.
These courses are for the people who like the beach, go to the beach, and enjoy collecting seashells and beachcombing.
Seaglass can be found all over the world, but the beaches of the northeast United States, Bermuda, Scotland, the Isle of Man, northeast and northwest England, Mexico, Hawaii, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Nova Scotia, Australia, Italy and southern Spain are famous for their bounty of sea glass
Seaglass takes 20 to 40 years, and sometimes as much as 100 to 200 years, to acquire its characteristic texture and shape. It is also commonly referred to as "drift glass" from the longshore drift process that forms the smooth edges.
Allow a minimum of TWO hours to search for sea glass. Skip the pristine sandy beach for a pebbly beach with lots of rocks. Go where the waves are. The best time to hunt for beach glass is after a storm. Visit the beach at low tide. Tides are lower around full moons so plan your hunt accordingly. Don’t be afraid to wade out into the water if necessary. Face AWAY from the sun and look for sparkles. Begin your search near the lower low-tide lines or rocky areas, but search the entire shoreline if time allows.
