Lampwork Beads
Lampwork bead making is the process of creating beads by melting glass onto a mandrel with a torch.  These beads are then used to create jewelry pieces.
Here is a picture of a couple of beads that have just come out of the kiln where they have been annealed.
This is an example of the finished items. These are wirewrapped using colored artist wire by Pat. These christmas ornaments will be hanging from the tree this year. Back to GlassWorks
We also are working on making molds to form glass beads.  This will give us the ability to form faces and other designs on to the beads. Click the picture to see more.
