CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Excellent resource for the beginner - 
This is a wonderful book to begin with if you have never melted glass in your life, or if you have had minimal training. It explains all the equipment you will need to start your glass studio. It gives clear instructions on several fairly simple beadmaking techniques, with which you can expand on with your own creativity. The pictures of the beads are beautifully photographed and will give you endless ideas just by looking at them. If you are an intermediate to advanced lampworker, though, this book would be far too basic for you.

, simply quality bar stools
Fantastic! -
I took a weekend beginning beadmaking class, and my teacher sent me home Saturday night with this book. I read it cover to cover and went back the next day inspired by all of the talented beadmakers who were so generous as to share their years of experience. I made much better beads that second day, and have been hooked ever since. The biographies are inspiring; so many discovered beadmaking and and changed careers.The techniques are well illustrated with photos. I highly recommend this book to motivated beginners.
Gorgeous Book -
I love this book with its many designers showcasing their work. Many styles of lampworking are covered. The techniques are understandable. The pictures are beautiful. Very inspiring!
Beautiful, beautiful pictures for anyone who likes glass beads -
This book has lots of pictures of beads that are so creative and beautiful it is a joy just to look at them. It could even be a coffee table book. It does inspire you to want to go make your own beads. It ranges from a lot of detail for the way most beads are made to an overview on some, but the pictures are complete in showing how each bead has been made. If you love glass beads you will love this book!
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
A Quality Book -
I had seen this book in book lists of various suppliers but as there are so many books on bead making the title did not get my attention. After reading reviews in Amazon I bought the book and was sorry I had not purchased it earlier. This book is excellent in every way. The quality of the book is very high. The pictures are great. The selection of projects is very good as even beginners can tackle some of the beads and get encouraging results. I believe this book will appeal even to non-flameworkers who want to find out how beads are made. A minor criticism is that the artist interviews were a bit repetitive. I guess beadmakers think alike in more ways than glass work.
