Paperback, large format
A must for someone starting out in glass beadmaking
Reviewer: dajackson@earthlink.net from Charlotte, NC December 22, 1999
This book is invaluable for anyone interested in glass beadmaking, from beginner to experienced
beadmaker. It goes from safety and studio setup to techniques used in creating various glass
beads both using soft and hard glass. It highligths some methods for pulling cane and making
murrini. It is an all around excellent instructional book, but definately not a coffee table book.
Nothing can take the place of hands on instruction and guidance, but with this book, a video or
two , common sense and some patience anyone
can make beautiful glass beads. Get this book and give it a try.
A thorough reference guide for glass bead makers!

What an exceptional book! I did research on safety and ventilation regarding lampworked glass
beads for almost an entire year before I set up my studio. This book is the BEST that I have found
on the subject of ventilation to prevent toxicity, setting up the studio and all the various
components involved in making glass beads. Mr. Kervin also included information about
hazardous fuels, storage procedures, how to maintain your oxygen and propane tanks, as well as
kiln maintenance. I HIGHLY recommend this handy reference guide! Everything (and more) than I
wanted to know is right at my fingertips! There is nothing negative about the book, not one single
thing!!
