What is Lampwork?

Lampworking is a technique to make handcrafted glass beads from long rods of glass.
Molten glass is wound around a steel mandrel that is held into a flame, the beads are shaped by rotating the mandrel through the flame.
A variety of tools and techniques are used to add shapes, colors and designs. Each one is its own work of art, two never quite the same.
Quality: My beads are created using Moretti/Effetre, Vetrofond, and Lauscha glass. Each is annealed in a digitally controlled kiln and cleaned when finished!

Self Representing Artist

#D22 I belong to self-representing-artist.com, a group of glass artists who are dedicated to the art of lampworking. As a self representing artist I hand create all of my own work without the aid of mass production.
