Item Special Note
The art of beadmaking by winding molten glass around a steel mandrel is often referred to as "Lampworking". This is because the early glass beadmakers used oil lamps as their heat source for melting the glass. Although the art form has been practiced since ancient times, it became widely practiced in Murano, Italy in the 14th century. Lampworked beads have generally been the provenance of Italian, and, later, Bohemian lampworkers for the last four hundred years or so who kept the techniques secret.
Lampworking differs from glassblowing in that glassblowing utilizes a blowpipe to inflate a glass blob, thereby inflating it by blowing air into the blowpipe, whereas lampworking manipulates glass either by the use of tools, gravity, or by blowing directly into the end of a glass tube.
