To make lampwork beads, you will need to melt down a narrow rod of glass over a torch. When the glass is molten, you can easily wind it around your mandrel using gravity as you twist the mandrel. The hole in the bead is formed by the space taken up by the mandrel. You may choose to marver or embellish your glass using various tools. After you are happy with the decoration, you will anneal and coldwork your glass bead. Final step: String your beads and wear with pride!
