Lampworking is a skill that takes a great deal of practice and patience.  We as Lampwork bead artists understand the glass and the torch: how much heat it takes for glass to flow, how much heat can be applied to a bead that is already shaped before it becomes molten again and loses shape, when to add decorative effects and how different colors of glass interact with each other.  Dots of colors can be manipulated to form designs.  Small dots of color can be left as bumps on the beads' surface or plunged into the center of the bead for a totally different look.  Fine lines are possible when working with tiny rods of glass, kind of like painting with a glass paintbrush.

Our Lampwork Beads are considered to be artwork that is wearable. Variations in the shape of these hand-made beads add to their uniqueness, which means no two beads are exactly identical.  We choose colors from a palate, and then handcraft all the beautiful designs that come from our heart, as each creation is made with thought, creativity, and skill. All of our new Lampwork Beads have been properly kiln-annealed to ensure their durability and beauty for years to come.

Look for an "SRA" seal when shopping for authentic, handmade, lampwork beads.  Don't be fooled into buying cheap, mass-produced imports.
