Paperweight Techniques

by Crystal Myths

Set of two videos.

Lewis shows how to set up a furnace and charge it with glass. Safety tips and suggestions for location of the furnace are discussed. Most lampworkers have the opportunity to try advanced techniques by gathering glass from a crucible and using a torch and a glory hole.

Jennifer Wilson shows how to make three very small Moretti animals: a snake, a turtle and a frog. These and many more items are encased in pendants, buttons, and paperweight marbles by Lewis. The largest pieces made are approximately 2-1/4" in diameter.

About Lewis: He has been a lampworker for 25 years. His sculptural pieces have been presented to Presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush and King Juan Carlos of Spain by his Native State of New Mexico.
