About Lamp-work Glass
Lampworking is a type of glasswork that uses a torch to melt and shape glass. Once the glass is heated to a molten state, it is formed by blowing and shaping with tools and hand movements. It is also known as flame-working.
About thirty years ago, American artists began exploring modern glass lampworking techniques. This group eventually formed the basis for the International Society of Glass Beadmakers, an organization dedicated to the preservation of traditional techniques and promotion of educational initiatives.
