Description:
The Leonardo Petal Puller Tutorial is an instructional DVD from Leonardo Lampwork that teaches lampworkers how to use the Leonardo Petal Puller, a specialty forming tool designed by Karen Leonardo for creating consistent glass petals. The tutorial walks through making a complete six-petal sculpted flower from start to finish, covering key processes such as using frits for color and surface effects, building petal cane, pulling stringers, pulling petals with the tool, and assembling the petals into a finished flower. This DVD is especially useful for beadmakers and lampworkers who want repeatable petal shapes for sculpted floral beads, dimensional leaves, and other botanical components where uniformity and clean shaping matter.
How it is used:
- Use the DVD to learn the full workflow for making a six-petal sculpted flower, from initial cane preparation through final assembly
- Follow the frit section to understand when and how frit is applied for color variation and surface interest in floral components
- Use the petal cane instruction to build a cane that will pull into petals cleanly and consistently
- Follow the stringer pulling steps to create the fine material needed for detailing and assembly work
- Use the petal pulling demonstration to learn how the Leonardo Petal Puller is heated, loaded, and pulled to form repeatable petal shapes
- Follow the assembly portion to learn how petals are aligned, attached, and finished into a complete sculpted flower suitable for beads and small sculptural elements
