Description:
Complete Book of Glass Beadmaking is a comprehensive lampworking reference by Kimberley Adams that focuses on making glass beads at the torch, from foundational shaping skills through more advanced decorative techniques. It is constructed as a step-by-step instructional book with full-color photography, making it useful both as a learning path for newer beadmakers and as a technique refresher for experienced torchworkers. In a lampworking studio, this book is most valuable when you want structured guidance on bead shape control, surface decoration, and design planning so you can build repeatable results for production work or develop new styles with confidence.
The ISBN is 978-1600597787.
How it is used:
Read through the early technique sections to match the book’s progression, then practice each skill at the torch before moving on. Use the photo examples to compare bead shape, heat control, and decoration placement as you work. Keep the book at the bench as a reference when you are troubleshooting common beadmaking issues such as uneven shaping, muddied decoration, or inconsistent symmetry. Revisit individual projects as templates for new colorways and series work.
