Heart Bead Tutorial
A beginner’s guide to making beads in general and specifically about making Heart Beads.
I have been teaching introductory lampwork since 2003. I have had the pleasure of introducing
hundreds of women and a few men to the art of lampworking. Playing with glass for the first time
is a stressful and exciting time.
This Heart Bead reinforces many of the introductory techniques that a
new beadmaker has just learned. This
Heart Bead Tutorial has grown out of my weekend introductory class. This is often our first multi step bead
and we usually do it on the morning of our second day together.
This tutorial is geared towards the beginning glass artist
and contains instructions for many techniques including: pulling a stringer,
starting your bead, heat control, dot and stripe application, working with
silver wire and silver leaf, squashing, using heat to shape and more.
This tutorial is a 6.0MB PDF file available for instant
download.
