She "Opened up the 20th & 21st century art communities" hearts and souls to an Ancient Form of Art History we now believe started 3500 BC according to archaeologists resulting in a thriving art medium once more establishing an an error in history. Come Join Us..

2. - Graphite Paddle, (No Holy Roller for the Shelf to dust)

3. - Hot head - Torch Head (this melts your rods twice as fast as the self igniting torch heads that being sold on the market and yuor results with the hot head wioll be quicker and colors will be much more vibrant, same price, Just one is More qualifies to do this job.

4. 10 - 1/8" bead mandrels

5. 1 - Bead Rake used to manipulate molten glass by dragging, raking, feathering, and Swirling designs on the surface of molten glass. It can also be used to poke holes in Molten glass or poke for bubbling effects as in the center of a flower.

6. 1- Mandrel scrubber (we grind the ends of your mandrels so you can work with your new art supplies when they arrive, Most people don't grind them for you due to time and costs of machinery) rod scrubber is to give your mandrels a small wipe down after you take your beads off them to clean any bead release residue and also to dull them a tad so release will easily adhere to them.

7. Aluminum Work Surface 12x12 x 1/8" Thickness - Solid Aluminum (We have these made at a Small Metal Fabrication Company.) (Verses the sprayed on aluminum plates that are being sold in most kits, Myself I did not appreciate the aluminum paint sticking to my molten glass and I'm afraid of cardboard beiing that close to a flame, I do understand they must be specially treated pieces of cardboard just not for myself or my customers, hmmmmmmmmm, 5.00 verses .50 cents is quite appealing though! LOL

8. All the Clamps that you need come in one package, table clap, bottle holder clamp and the clamp that holds those items togather, there are 3 pices is what i'm trying to say!!

9. 4 - Ounces of Flame Dry bead Release - This is A Better Quality Release than the Air Dry, I little more pricey, but your worth it, and to have the best experience with lampworking you need the best supplies to begin with, not when you go shopping for more on your own later, and I promise you, it won't be long after your first bead is made that you will be hunting down more goodies to add to your colletion. You'll also see the list of food delivery services on your refridgerator grow because pizza gets sickening 7 days a week. You will ned lots of time to spend with your new found(Joy In Life). LOL

10. 1 set of 15 - carefully selected moretti glass rods (Approximate length of each rod = 13") In each assorment we will be sure to add 1 of each of the following, clear, white, black, ivory and dark ivory as those are the most sought after rods and you will be happy we sent them.

11. and Finally (1) One annealing blanket in which your beads will cool slowly...............

Question From An Inexperienced lampworker, Do I need anything Else to Make Beads??? Answer: No, You do not, You Have everything and More than you need to start Lampworking. The Tools, Glass and Educating Materials (Reading) are perfect and will be very satisfiing to you. You will (Of Coarse) want more glass and Maybe some designer Toys. It's Important that you learn your basic bead shapes without the use of presses when learning to make beads, ect. OH, Dangerous, You will become Addicted to Glass, Meaning, you will buy it, store it away, take about the he wild color you were able to obtain and some you won't use ever, especially if they are hard to get and very sought after~!~!!
