Description:
The Art of Beadmaking Volume 1 is an instructional DVD featuring lampworker Brad Pearson demonstrating step-by-step techniques for sculptural beadmaking and off mandrel beadmaking. It is produced as a physical video disc intended for studio reference, letting you pause, replay, and practice along as techniques are shown in sequence. This title is used when you want to expand beyond basic wound beads into sculptural forms and multi-part construction, especially when you are building beads and pendants that require clean heat control, accurate shaping, and planned assembly. The projects taught include fish beads, off mandrel hearts, two part pendants, and tribal mask beads.
How it is used:
- Watch the demonstrations to study flame placement, heat control, and shaping timing for sculptural bead forms.
- Follow along at the torch, pausing as needed while you build each component and assemble multi-part pieces.
- Use the project list as a structured practice path to improve symmetry, detail work, and off mandrel construction skills.
