If you see an item in a post that is of interest, you can contact me using the form at the bottom of any page on my website. The cost of a focal bead or vessel is typically $30-$40.

​

I have been working with glass for about 16 years. The technique I have learned is called lampwork. This involves heating glass rods in a mix of oxygen and propane delivered by a torch (the lamp).

​

I use a small Lynx torch with two oxygen concentrators and a propane tank. This is a small flame by glassworking standards, but is sufficient to make large beads, vessels and marbles. 

​

I work with soft glass (also know as Italian or Morano glass). This type of glass melts a bit easier, but you need to keep it evenly heated or it could shatter. It comes in more colors and can produce some great silver reactions. 

​

All my work is kiln annealed which is important to re-align the crystal structure of the glass for strength.
