Introduction | Safety Issues | Protective Equipment | Kilns

Beadmaking dates back several thousand years. Somewhere around 3000 BC. The equipment has changed a little, the glass has changed as well, but the love and joy of flameworking just continues to grow.

For all of you beadmakers, or future beadmakers, we offer you our advise based on our years of lampworking. Our goal is to provide the necessary tools and equipment, as well as the information to learn and grow in this rewarding and challenging medium.

Over the last several years, Karen and I have made 100's of thousands of beads. We really don't know just how many, but it's a lot.

We would like everyone to understand that any issues or advise offered here is strictly our opinion. Any installation of gas lines, burners or other dangerous equipment should be done by qualified personnel.

Remember, your safety is our first concern.

If you don't see something you are looking for, let us know. We'll do what we can to find it for you, or tell you where you may get it.

Please read and absorb. Email us with your comments, good or bad.

Without your feedback, we cannot continue to improve and provide you with what you are wanting and needing.

Thanks, Karen and David
