Lampworked Beads


Lampworked Beads

Lampworking, also called flameworking, is an ancient technique in which glass rods are melted and wound around a steel rod (called a mandrel). The term "lampworking" comes from ancient times, when cultures, such as the Egyptians, used oil lamps to heat their glass.

My beads are created using Moretti, Lauchsa, and/or Keugler glass rods and are made using an oxygen/propane torch. I use 1/16" and 3/32" diameter rods.

Each bead is created one-at-a-time, and is properly annealed in a digitally controlled kiln to insure durability.
