So pretty, awesome technique ;-)

[@patiencep2667]

I fancied myself becoming a glass bead artist once. When faced with the prospect of working with fire, well let’s just say I still wonder what I’d be like . Now I work with beads and wire wrap them, string then and all other manner of things with them. I love beads and am very grateful to folks like you who aren’t so afraid of the fire. You do lovely work and are a ver good instructor.

[@KerriKeffelerlampwork]

Hi Patience! Thank you you so much for your feedback! When I first started making beads I didn't think I would pursue it as a craft, the fire was not my friend at first! lol! But I'm glad I persisted and after all this time I love creating beads more than ever. Thanks for watching my videos and for your feedback. I hope you'll check out the new video I just posted today! :)

[@Babette17C]

You are such an expert at your Tapestry technique... I enjoyed watching you make those leaves and swirls A LOT! Thank you for giving us a Freebie! You're so sweet to do this. Someday I hope you'll make your Marketing information available to us - either as a .pdf or DVD we can purchase.

[@KerriKeffelerlampwork]

Hi Babette! Thank you SO much for the feedback! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video! I'll be posting new lampwork video tutorials every Tuesday and I'll be starting up a marketing channel as well as a facebook group so we can talk about all things marketing related. I'll post notices as soon as it's all ready. Thanks again! :)

Thanks so much, Kerri. I really enjoyed watching your tutorial. I've been playing with warm glass for the last 18 months or so and this year, Santa is bringing me a lampworking kit. All the best with your next video.

Kerry this was wonderful!! As someone else said, you have the perfect voice for narrating a tutorial. I am not a lampshade (haha, autofill, too cute~ I’ve gotta leave it!), anyway, I am not a lampworker, nor do I have any designs to be, but I am a collector, and it was fascinating to see how you make your hearts!! I’d like to see the press as well! Great job! See you next week! 🙂

Great tutorial. I am looking forward to future videos. I do hope you adjust the camera just a smidge so we can see the bees working rather than your hand.

[@KerriKeffelerlampwork]

Hi Zac! You are more than welcome! Thank you for watching!!

[@NinaDusedau]

Thank you so much, Kerri! So excited to watch you work - a wish come true. Also love your hints about protecting the ends. My only suggestion is to try to position the camera so that we can see more of what your other hand is doing and less of the airspace around the mandrel. I know that will be super tricky! The sound came through perfectly. The technique absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing. I have always loved your work, and am lucky enough to have a bead of yours from the Albuquerque Gathering.

[@KerriKeffelerlampwork]

Hi Nina! Thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I really appreciate your feedback! I'll be filming my next tutorials with an overhead camera so hopefully that will help the angle and make it easier to see. I'm posting a new tutorial on Tuesday next week so I hope you'll watch it and let me know what you think! :)

[@toniherrick9629]

Good job. Most enjoyable Wish I could have seen your heart press. Thank you

[@KerriKeffelerlampwork]

Thank you, Toni! I'm glad you enjoyed it! The heart press is a tong press much like the one that you can get from Carlo Dona tools. :) I think Spiral Arts carries them. :)

[@vonniescrafts1]

Absolutely beautiful ❤️

I was the tool called to m a ke the heart. It was a hand held??? And a heart press ♥️ Thank you

[@separatumre5608]

Once I start lampworking I’m going to go back to this vid and make a heart for my crush on valentines

[@kizzywitch]

Lovely bead it’s a shame we couldn’t see you using the bead press at the beginning shaping of the heart though

[@mirandagarbacz5396]

Need to see the press the hearts I am making is without a press and the bottom is off the the side and would help to see the press and the pressing seen just a bit more tilted up to see the work

[@NinaStone67]

Really nice tutorial! One small suggestion... Bring the camera out a little farther. Hard to see what you're doing when you're marvering and pressing.

[@KerriKeffelerlampwork]

Hi Nina! Thank you so much for the feedback! I appreciate your suggestion. I've ordered a long video stand so that I can mount my camera over the torch and hopefully get it centred a little better. :) I'll be posting a new tutorial next Tuesday that I hope you'll watch - I would love to hear what you think! :)

[@kristysmith9723]

Great bead, thank you. I need to practise my scroll work, yours is so elegant in comparison! I'm curious about your choice of Effetre white as a core - I would usually decide to use a stiffer glass like Effetre clear 004 (the cheaper, scummy one) for this technique. Does the softer glass core have an advantage in the press, or does having white underneath do something for the colour of the red?

[@rosalienellartglass]

I was also wondering about the core choice? Is there a reason not to use just the red? Loving your tutorials and calm presentation 🙂

[@HypnotizedGlass]

Hi, how do you supply oxygen to your HELLCAT? thanks

[@kathleengouw4529]

Love it, but keep your bead in the middle 😉

I really wanted to see how the heart shape takes form, but the critical bits take part off camera. Disappointing because I love the heart shaped beads.

[@christinewilliamson6020]

You’re out of frame too much. Most of your teachings have no visuals. But interesting.
