Pink Glass Tutorial for Lampwork

by

Just released yesterday, a new online tutorial by Kandice Seeber.  Glass Color Families:  Pinks.

Pink is one of the hardest colors to tackle in lampworking.  First, it’s hard to find a shade of pink that isn’t washed out and then when you do find one, it’s not the most simple color to work in the flame.  If it isn’t bubbling and getting a metallic sheen on it, it’s losing its color the more you work it.

Many lampworkers have given up in even trying to get a good pink, while others plug along layering color atop color to get that shade that is just right.

One of the people who has a passion and love for the color pink in glass is Kandice Seeber.  That characteristic along with her crisp images and delicate, precise work is, I’m sure, to be a hit with this new tutorial.  If you want to learn how to work pink right and get all the right shades, that just might be the place to do it.
