By Louise Mehaffey

Louise Mehaffey is a master with the torch, melting glass and wrapping it around a metal rod called a mandrel to create beautiful glass beads. In this book, she provides safe and easy techniques for making glass beads of all shapes and sizes, with tips on setting up a work space, acquiring the necessary tools and materials, and learning the basic skills. Helpful photographs demonstrate how to make various shapes, from round to rectangular, and add interesting effects, such as etching and gold leaf inclusions.
