This way of blowing beads is the traditional way here in Venice and Murano. Any lampworker here use the same tecnique and the blowing tube. It's a very funny tecnique once you have mastered a little skill in being fast. A blown glass (either beads or globets) cools down very quickly and you have to pay way more attention in heat control. The basic trick is that glass and the blowing tube should have the same temperature before blowing (so when they have the same color you are ready to blown) and then if you want to make a complicate design, and you need more time, pay attention to keep warm the bead but also the blowing tube
