The art of making glass beads. This is sometimes referred to as lampworking.
=How is it done=
Glass rods are heated to melting point and wound onto mandrels that have been dipped into [[bead release]]. There is also a subcategory of lampworking that is referred to as "[[off mandrel]]". Sculptural glass pieces and [[marbles]] can be made in this way.
Glass is heated using [[propane]] and a [[torch]].
