Description:
Just Plain Beads by Deanna Griffin Dove and Marjorie Langston is a concise, well illustrated soft cover lampworking book focused on beadmaking fundamentals. It is constructed as a short, technique-driven reference that explains how to use heat control and controlled motion at the torch to manipulate glass into clean, intentional bead shapes. This title is useful when you want to tighten up your core forming skills, correct common shape problems, and build repeatable bead geometry that translates to more advanced surface decoration and bead design work.
