Tips from the Glass Academy: Beadmaking
Though not really new, because it has been around since the 19th century, bead making is gaining momentum very quickly.
One method is to buy an inexpensive hot head torch like you see being used in the pictures above. This is easily something you can do at home. Hot Head is sku 15613.
Or our newest addition is a Bench Burner. Sku 16035. You are able to do more with this one, but it is more expensive and you need an oxygen generator to go with it.
