My lampworking results in enchanting glass beads ready for jewelry making or simply to collect and admire. All lampwork beads are lovingly designed in the torch flame by Michelle Hershman in coastal Alabama then carefully annealed in a digitally controlled kiln to ensure long life of the lampworked bead. The lampwork beads come to you ready to use in your designs. Unless otherwise specified, the lampwork beads are made on 3/32" mandrels and have a hole of about 2.4mm. Larger holes(about 1/8" or 3.2mm) available upon request for many of the designs. I use soft glass for the majority of my beads. The lampwork beads listed in the Ready to Ship area are ready to ship.
