1: Excellent
This book is excellent. I am a beginner at lampworking and this book has showed me different ways of making beads and the instructions are excellent. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning how to do lampworking.

2: A great launching place for bead and jewelry designers!
Karen has written a wonderful book that walks you through several jewelry projects via easy to understand directions with excellent photos. This book is unique in that it shows the reader how to make a lampwork bead -- step by step -- and then walks the reader through how to create a necklace or bracelet that is the perfect showcase for the bead. I think this book is an excellent addition to any jewelry designer and/or lampworker's library. The ideas contained within it have so many applications! It's a terrific book!

3: there are far better books on the market
the techniques shown in this book are elementary and few in number-- this book may be of interest to the beginner, but has nothing to offer the more experienced lampworker--save yourself the cost of having to return this book--

4: more than the title promises
I bought the book because I wanted to make glass beads for jewelry.
The chapters about making beads are very informing and original as well.
I am glad I bought the book.
How ever I was very surprised that part of the book is about actually making the jewelry, not about making the beads. I don't need a book about that topic so I was sory the space was not filled with bead making.

5: A Great Instruction Book
This is a great beginner to intermeidiate book for setting up a new lampwork studio and making lampwork beads. It is filled with useful information a beginner will need. The pictures are very helpful clear close up shots. The instructions are well written with step by step pictures. It is filled with instructions from bead making to creating jewelry. It includes safety tips. I could have used this book when I was setting up my new lampwork studio, it answered many of the questions I had at that time, with the help of pictures.
