Average Customer Ratings:
Glass beadmaking has become a crafting phenomenon, and this colorful reference features a rich repertoire of creative ideas. Splashed across the splendid pages in eye-catching photos are all the most popular types of beads, accompanied by the newest, most innovative techniques. The instructions begin with the basics: how to light the torch, wind and cool the bead, and shape the glass into barrels, cones, and discs. As beadmakers' skills develop, they can expand their horizons by experimenting with enamel; using mica dust to form an iridescent sheen; and applying silver, gold, and copper leaf to layers of glass. The most advanced projects are truly remarkable, from floral and sculptural beads to beads that encase images of stars, rainbows, and faces. A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Excellent book for bead making refreshment and new ideas -
I took a beadmaking class almost a year ago and decided to start again. This book goes into great detail on how to make your first bead and add much detail, refreshing my memory quite well. I also like the author's tips on how to use items around the house to incorporate into bead work and how to make your own frit. The author is very detailed on each bead making tool, types of glass rods, types of gases to use, and other bead making techniques. There are also numerous colored pictures of glass beads also to give new and inventive ideas. Highly recommended to both the novice and intermediate glass bead maker.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
Wonderful book -
Lots of helpful techniques for both the beginner and the experienced
beadmaker. You wont be disappointed with this book...
Inspirational -
This book is not only a guide how to make beads but it is allso a source of inspiration. When I don't know which bead to make I get this book and all kind of ideas pop up. It's clear and one can easily find the things one is looking for.
Not so good - 
Everything in this book has been covered in Cindy Jenkin's book 'Making Glass Beads'. No need to buy it. I am sorry I did, it was a waste of money.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
Excellent book for starters -
Far from being an expert or even proficient glassworker, I really liked this book. It's comprehensive. It has techniques that the Cindy Jenkins book does not contain and hers was one of the best books on beadmaking I've found. If you can only buy one book (who can?) I would purchase this as a starting manual. If you can buy more, get this and Cindy Jenkins' "Making Glass Beads." The two both have the same amount of info on setting up a glassblowing area in your home and advice on torches, etc, but together they make a fine starting point for any aspiring soft glass artisan.
