The creation of glass beads using the lampwork technique is comparable to spun glass. The glass in the form of a small rod is heated with the flame a torch. The melting end is then placed on a supporting steel rod, which will make the hole in the bead when removed, then the beads is pulled and formed by spinning the fused piece of glass.
A small quantity of glass is placed on the support, at that time the glass being soft and pliable the artist can play with gravity to shape the bead. Decorations can be added on this nucleus with small color glass rods, that can also be spun and manipulated.
This entire process can last from a minute to more than an hour, which of course depends on the difficulty and complexity of the work. Glass beads made this way are beautiful and can open the imagination to a world of colors and imagination. Using a blowing glass technique can also be used in glass beads making, It produces beads that are larger but lighter because they are hollow.
