Lampworking, or making glass beads, is a time-honored craft practiced as a profession and as a hobby. Glass blowers make glass beads using a mandrel, a glass rod and a heat source, such as a propane torch. Part of the bead-making process is preparing the work surfaces of the materials, such as coating the mandrel with a fireproof bead release material and making sure your torch is securely attached to a heatproof surface. The glass blower will also clean the surface of the glass rod with a soft, clean cloth to remove any dust or oils that might contaminate the bead. After putting on safety glasses, the glass blower will light the torch, beginning with a low setting then turning it up after it's lit. You will generally see a glass blower working in a well-ventilated area to avoid any fumes from the propane torch. more »
