This
is where the soda lime glass lampwork beads can be found. These are all
handmade by Dry Gulch, one bead at a time. Soda lime glass is considered
"soft" glass in comparison with other glass types. We use Effetre,
Vetrofond, Lauscha, Ask, CIM, Double Helix and Reichenbach glass in our beads. We have been
making lampwork beads for 5 years and thoroughly enjoy melting the glass.
Colors will be more vivid in sunlight. Photos were taken indoors unless
otherwise noted.
All lampwork beads and pendants
have been kiln annealed overnight for strength. Pictures show the beads to
be larger than they actually are in some cases.
