Description:

This softcover instructional booklet teaches step-by-step methods for making decorative glass beads using Thompson enamels and electroformed copper. It draws from the beadwork of glass artist Kate Fowle Meleney and presents the techniques as a starting point for developing your own surface designs. The booklet is written by James Kervin and is identified by ISBN-10 0965145875 and ISBN-13 978-0965145879.

How it is used:

Use this booklet as a process guide at the torch when you want to add durable color and graphic detail with enamels, then take the finished bead into an electroforming workflow to build a copper layer on the surface. It is especially helpful for understanding the sequence of decorating, firing, cleaning, and preparing a bead so electroformed copper adheres reliably and highlights the design.
