Lampwork Beads

Lampwork Borosilicate Beads by Dry Gulch Lampwork Beads - Dichroic Lampwork Beads - More Lampwork Beads - Tube
Lampwork Soda Lime Beads by Dry Gulch Lampwork Beads - Foil Lampwork Beads - Round How We Make Lampwork Beads

 

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.
