Contemporary Lampworking Volume III

by

shapeimage_4It’s in production!!! Contemporary Lampworking Volume III by Bandu Dunham. This is pretty exciting stuff if you’re a lampworker…you know a torchworker…you like to play with fire and glass. It’s been years since the second volume came out so I really can’t wait to see the newest edition. I have both of the previous editions in my glass book library and reference them both often. They’re not just about bead making. No, it’s all aspects of lampworking. Safety and studio set-up, color mixing, tubing working, borosilicate, beads, vessels…the new edition should be amazing. Over on the web site they’re previewing bits of it so go check it out. And you can pre-order it if you’d like!
