Lampworking, also sometimes called Flameworking, is a rich, creative glassblowing tradition. The equipment is simple enough for most hobbyists to set up in their own home, yet the technique is flexible enough to suit the most demanding artist. Here is instruction in a variety of basic and advanced lampworking techniques, complete with technical background data, made easy to understand.

Contemporary Lampworking has been used as a text and recommended by lampworking instructors across the U.S. and abroad. Widely praised, it has become the "bible" in its field. Revisions in the third edition reflect the astonishing growth of lampworking. Listings for suppliers, schools and other contacts have been thoroughly updated. Recent works by many artists have been added throughout the text and in two full color "Gallery Sections" now expanded to showcase nearly a hundred artists.

Over 100 pages of new material includes additional techniques for jewelry, marbles, beads, paperweights, vessels, goblets, neon plasma sculpture, millefiore canes, lathe working, core-forming and combinations of lampwork with other glass techniques. Health and safety information has been newly updated to reflect recent NIOSH research. Chapters on the history of lampworking and the general properties of glass have been greatly expanded, enriching your historical and conceptual appreciation for this highly addictive craft.
