❤You are a BORN teacher!!! So clear, calm, perfectly paced. The only danger to a student here is, you make it look so easy!!! 😄

[@maryzylema9699]

I think lampwork bead making is such a beautiful art. Thank you for sharing and showing us your talent . This is a enjoyable video to see .😊😍💖

[@suerettammel6789]

Thanks Kerri! This was the perfect video to watch after two days of frustration. I think I was leaving the glass rod in the torch for too long🤪 I will try your technique tomorrow! Oh by the way you have a beautiful voice! Very melodic. Thank you for great instructions and suggestions! What torch setup do you have? I don’t think my Mapp torch gets hot enough. Thanks again 😀

I really enjoyed watching your video - you were clear and talked through every step giving options - and not only could I see really clearly but also your audio was crystal clear - not all lampworkers do this . Wish you would do more x

Oh, stick the tip of the stinger on the lateral side! Never crossed my mind I should start there. Many, many thanks!!!

[@Jodandrea]

Excellent - thanks Kerri

[@Parken26]

Beautiful work and wonderful narration, appreciate the no background narration.

[@sherryrp]

Great tutorial! Very helpful for me. The explanations you give as you are making the beads are just what I needed to improve my bead making. Thank you so much!

[@zubeydah9181]

Kerri, this was so very helpful! I appreciate your instruction and can't wait to put some of these techniques into practice!

Belíssimo trabalho

[@KateDrewWilkinson]

Just for what it's worth, I age my ancient beads by dipping them into a glass of water with sodium bicarbonate in it and returning it to the flame. I do it several times...it does a wonderful job of aging the glass and even does something to the holes that happen with ancient glass beads..Some try to age beads by rolling them in Sodium bicarbonate but that is too radical...!

[@KerriKeffelerlampwork]

That's a fun tip, Kate! I'll have to try that! :)

[@ellenlasky5702]

I have done similar without water, just baking soda. Rolled bead in it like frit. Back in flame. Sea glass kind of look. Encasing it in clear preserves the bubbles and looks cool

[@joannecarson5568]

What is your sodium bicarbonate:water ratio?

Hey Kerri, wonderful Tutorials, and beautiful beads. Got a technical question, What is your camera setup? I have had a handful of times myself where I have had friends or relatives who have wanted to see how I make my beads, but the normal camera setups take in the flare of the glass in the flame, so its impossible for them to see whats going on. Did you have to get a lens adapter made from the same material as the protective glasses we normally wear while working at the bench?

[@KerriKeffelerlampwork]

Hello! I'm glad you are enjoying my tutorials! I use a basic overhead video phone stand from amazon with a remote for easy videoing using my cell phone. It only costs about $25.00 and makes filming super easy. I then just taped a didymium lens from an old pair of glasses over the camera to cut the soda flair. Easy and cheap! lol! I hope that helps!

[@wolfsangelsden]

@@KerriKeffelerlampwork ah, nice to hear my thought of reusing the lenses would work. I had pondered it a while back and kept telling myself "nah it cant be that simple", but apparently it can! Thanks for the response, happy torching!

[@KerriKeffelerlampwork]

@@wolfsangelsden Glad to help!! Happy torching to you!!

[@МаксУстинов-ч8с]

Интересное зрелище👍👍👍❤️

[@jamesfloyd6693]

I might have missed it but how does one remove the bead from the rod?

[@geraldkimmich8018]

How would you make a heart shaped bead?
