Description:
This 72-page softcover instructional book is written by Deanna Griffin Dove and focuses on encasing techniques for creating highly finished art glass beads. It is constructed as a photo-rich, step-by-step teaching book that walks beadmakers through a wide range of encasing approaches, with thorough explanations intended to stretch both novice and advanced skills. Encasing is used in lampworking when you want to protect surface decoration, add optical depth, improve durability, and create clean, polished finishes that elevate the clarity and visual layering of a bead. ISBN-10: 0978972120. ISBN-13: 9780978972127.
How it is used:
Use this book as a bench-side reference while practicing encasing in the flame. Follow the technique progression to build control over heat base, glass viscosity, and rotation speed so your clear layer goes on evenly without trapping bubbles or distorting the core design. Apply the methods to common beadmaking goals such as sealing in stringer work, protecting reactive surfaces, building magnified depth over patterns, and refining bead shape while maintaining crisp detail.
