Glass bead making techniques?
I make glass beads (lampworked) and I am looking for a site that shows you various different techniques to get different effects on a bead..I have a few books, they are ok, but not as good as expected…
I am a glass bead maker and one of the best resource for glass beadmakers is definately one of two places. Both have tutorial sections, show and tells, critiques, and wonderful people who will share their knowledge with you.
1. Glass Forums at Wet Canvas!
2. Lampwork Etc. Forums
