PyroLina's Paradise
I am a glass bead maker, a lampworker, and I use soft glass for my designs.
In my studio there is a two gas torch which is fired with butane gas and
an O2 concentrator. While working I am listening to the birds or to some
good music.
I melt rods of transparent and opaque glass in the flame and wind the hot
and liquid glass around a mandrel. Then I decorate it, for example, with
small glass frits, silver or self-made Murrinis. I use several tools to
bring the bead into form.
As soon as the bead is completed I put it in a special digitally controlled
kiln and let it slowly cool down for durability. Finally I clean the bead
holes with a Dremel tool. |
