Description:

Contemporary American Glass Beads is a hard cover reference book presented in both Danish and English that documents contemporary American glass beadmaking through finished work from invited beadmakers. It is constructed as a color photo book with written context, making it useful as a visual technique and design reference for lampworkers who want to study current surface decoration approaches, form development, and the range of stylistic expression possible in flameworked beads.

This title is authored by Torben Sode and is commonly listed under the Danish title Glas på kroppen. Moderne Amerikanske Glasperler. Contemporary American Glass Beads. The ISBN is 9788798537724.

How it is used:

Use this book at the bench as a design and technique inspiration guide. Study the photographed bead examples to identify decoration strategies you want to test, then translate those ideas into practice with your own base bead shapes, heat control, and surface application methods. It is also useful as a studio library reference for students and collectors who want a snapshot of American beadmaking styles and makers represented in the book.
