How dangerous is it to view someone making lampwork beads if the watcher isn’t wearing eye…?
…protection?
Does the question make any sense? Sorry if it doesn’t! What I want to know is: if someone is making lampwork beads using a torch, is it safe for people to watch the person work, or do they need to be wearing eye protection also? Is there a distance away that would make it safer, regarding damage to the eyes due to the flame of the torch?
and I watch too, but I always wear eye protection. Why would you not? The danger is not only in the flame, there are occasionally flying bits of glass. In my humble opinion, you can never be too safe when glass and fire are involved.
