Over at Cratfside they’ve shared a tutorial on how to make a hollow glass bead from the new book by bead maker Cecilia Cohen. Her new book is called The Glass Artist’s Studio Handbook: Traditional and Contemporary Techniques for Working with Glass. And over at Craftside they’re giving away a copy of the book. Check it out. Hopefully sometime soon I’ll get a hold of a copy to giveaway to one of you. But in the meantime look over the tutorial and make yourself a hollow beads. Love them hollow beads!!
