Beads of Glass: The Art and the Artists
This is the new book from Cindy Jenkins that we were all waiting
for for the past year. Instead of being a new edition of her classic,
Making Glass Beads, this is a completely
new book. This book approaches fine art lampwork beads from 3 angles.
One is the
interviews with the lampwork artists themselves, a page of their
finest examples and a written insight into what makes them tick.
Featured artists include some of the most notable contemporary lampworkers,
including familiar names such as: Kristen Frantzen Orr, Tom Holland,
Sage, Leah Fairbanks, Sharon Peters, Stephanie Sersich, Loren Stump,
as well as names you should get to know, such as: Emiko Sawamoto,
Terri Caspary Schmidt, Kim Fields, and many more.
Two is pages
of techniques from these same artists, revealing their secrets or
covering some trick to make beadmaking easier that they have discovered.
Techniques covered include: Round Round Bead, Batwing Bead, Striped
Bead, Zigzag bead, Rainbow bead, Pulled Floral Pendant, Intense
Black Effect, Stone Bead, Patterned Enamels, Floral bead with CZ,
Stratified Star Bead, Twisted Bubble Dot Bead, and more besides.
And the third part
is page of sheer eye-candy; big, gorgeous photos of spectacular
beads to make you drool. Whether you are a lampwork collector who
wants some insight into the process, or a lampworker looking for
inspiration and techniques, this is a must-have book for your library.
Hardcover, 11 x 9 inches, 152 pages. full colour, glossy pages,
