https://www.etsy.com/listing/5864192...-tubing-make-a

Use borosilicate glass to make a pink fumed glass bead without a mandrel.

Intermediate/Advanced Lampworking Level. Students need to be comfortable with a torch and making basic off-mandrel shapes.

12 pages of content and 35+ color photographs make this tutorial easy to follow. This tutorial does address safety when fuming.

Suggested lampworking tools:
Brass (preferred) or Graphite Octagonal Reamer (available in Shawn's shop)
Triangular Marvering Pad (available in Shawn'sshop)
***Or - you can use a handheld graphite marvering pad & a torch
***If you don’t have a triangular marvering pad, you’ll also need either a knife or diamond shears
mounted pad
Blow Hose
Foam Ear Plug (just one)
Grabber Claws –or- bent tweezers

Please note that this project cannot be worked on a hothead, sorry!

Tutorial does not include a finished piece of glass.
