CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Excellent bead book -
This book is great for beginning basics and more advanced techniques. I have been lampworking for awhile and I ENJOYED THE REVIEW OF THE BASICS AS WELL AS the specific designs for more advanced bead designs. I recommend.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
A helpful resourse for beginners -
As a beginning bead maker (1 month in) I found this book very helpful. The photographs are colorful and detailed. Each bead technique is carefully explained. The techniques for building the different shapes was most helpful in correcting what I was doing wrong. It is a helpful resource for working on mastering the beginning techniques before moving onto the more intricate ones. I closed the book feeling inspired and ready to try again.
Wow! -
This is a very well written book for people who are learning to make lampwork beads. The style it is written in makes it both a pleasure to read and to use while working on your beads.
FYI -
Found this book disappointing. There are better books out there. If you want to learn about equipment, read Kervin's book, if you want to read an overview of techniques, read Adams book, if you want to learn technique read Griffin Dove's books. The pictures are large, but the actual bead in the image is small.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
Excellent Book! -
This book would be great for any beginner! The techniques and projects would help anyone get to know glass better, how it moves and how to work it to your advantage. And there are also tips that would help the more advanced beadmaker increase their skills.
