What is "lampworking"?
Lampworking is a technique used to shape and form glass by melting it in the flame of a torch or lamp. The glass, usually in the form of rods or tubes, is heated until it becomes soft and pliable, allowing the artist to manipulate it into various shapes. Lampworking is commonly used to create beads, small sculptures, and intricate glass art pieces. The process requires precision and control, as the glass must be kept at the right temperature to be shaped without cracking.
