I just realized there was a special section for tuts... guess I've been out of the LE loop for too long !
The idea of writing this Ebook "From bead to sculpture" first entered my mind in Louisville at the 2005 Gathering when I gave my talk entitled "Technique vs inspiration".
So many years and a lot of work later, the Gathering is back in Louisville and I was honored enough to have my Splash bead on the Gathering booklet cover this year.
This Ebook presents an overview of my work from 2005 to 2010 together with the history of the creation of each piece, both from an inspirational and a technical point of view. It explains my inspiration and follows my creative journey with an aim to helping you to expand and refine your own lampworking.
While NOT a step-by-step tutorial, it gives an outline as to how each of my signature pieces is made and contains lots of the tips, tricks and techniques that, after years of teaching, I've pinpointed as those important ones that make all the difference in working with soft glass to enable you to perfect glass control.
Alongside my well-known "Splash" bead and other signature pieces, you will find a number of new designs that I have not yet published anywhere.
