Lampwork

Click here for the full lampwork page.
Melt glass rods and tubes using the heat of a bench mounted torch. We have a 3-station lampworking bench, with two small single stage torches, and one large two stage torch set up at all times. Both soft glass and borosilicate glasses can be worked, to create anything from beads and miniature sculptures all the way up to large wine glasses, ornaments, small bowls, tea pots, etc.
