So I've been asked to be a "mentor" to not one but two 5th graders who want to write their big capstone honors project on lampworking, and I'm the lampworker they know. I just met with one today, and she brought a book that she'd gotten from the library, but it's geared to intermediate beadmakers, and might as well be in french for all she can understand it. So now I need to help her find really basic lamworking books or tutorials, sort of "This is glass. This is what glass is made of. This is a mandrel" type of info. I'm going to work with her on the practical stuff, but she needs print resources in addition to my own endless fonts of wisdom.
Suggestions? Websites? Good videos?
Thanks!
