HISTORICAL LAMPWORKED GLASS BEADS

• An introductory paper on Lampworked Beads through history and basic construction techniques. This paper was written as a handout for demonstrations of lampworking at SCA events.

• Documentation for a Viking style strand of beads made to wear to SCA events.

• Documentation for Bead Timeline originally created for the Rowan Festival Laurel Prize Tourney in 2006, updated in 2008 (an ongoing project).

Here are some images of me making beads at an SCA event. (Please note, I only took my safety glasses off momentarily for the photograph !)

Here are some photographs of the first recreations of the Frojel beads that I made in 2004.
