 Description:
"My craft is called Lampworking. I use a torch (lamp) to melt borosilicate glass rods. I manipulate the glass with hand and bench tools made of graphite, stainless steel, tungston and brass. I usually begin with clear glass and weld, draw, encase, wrap, rake and twist the color rods onto the clear. The softening point of the glass is 2250 degrees and reaches in the 5000 degree range. When finished I anneal the glass in the kiln at 1050F. This relieves the stress and makes for strong durable glass."
