Lampwork Bead Sets and Lampwork Plus Sets

A word about lampwork bead making: For those of you who are not familiar with how lampwork beads are made, they are made by hand, one at a time, by melting rods of glass in a 2,000 degree flame, onto a stainless steel rod, using gravity and surface tension to shape them. Each colour you see is a different coloured rod of glass. They are built-up in layers from the centre to the outside, and then annealed overnight in a kiln for strength and durability. A great deal of practice and experience is required.

However; Our resident beadmakers are artists, and we have all concluded that there is nothing that will make them not want to make a bead faster than us telling them exactly what to make. Sooooo — recognizing that, but knowing that you still want these lovely, skillfully-made works of art, we have given up trying to offer you a catalogue of beads that look like they were made in a factory (which defeats the purpose of buying something handmade anyway), and offer you, instead, the opportunity to buy beautiful, handmade beads, as individual and unique as you are, based on colourways — defined colour sets — rather than a very specific description. This makes our tempermental-artist beadmakers happy, and you happy too!

So, you may get white-hearts, or dots, or circles, or bumps, or stripes, or eye-beads, or swirls or who knows what our talented beadmakers come up with! And, if you have a request for a colourset — you can email us and ask us about that too! Because we make these, the quantity available indicates stock available for immediate shipping. We can make more. If you want more, just let us know.
