This may be the definitive book for incipient bead makers.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Glass Beads (Beadwork Books) (Hardcover)
Other glass bead making how-to authors, beware! The best book on the subject has already been written. Ms. Jenkins has included beautiful photographs of beads which are sufficient inspiration to recommend her work. However, it is the detail, and detailed photos, of how to proceed with bead making that make this book an invaluable asset. For several years I have resisted the idea of making my own beads - this book has severely dented my unwillingness to embark on that aspect of my obsession with beads. Ms. Jenkins is to be congratulated for authoring such a thorough and beautiful work.

The best instruction book for beginners.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Glass Beads (Beadwork Books) (Hardcover)
This is the book I recommend in my glass bead making classes. There are pictures with each set of instructions so you can see, as well as read, how to do it. It covers all of the techniques necessary to make the most simple to the most complex glass bead imaginable. Definitely a "must have" book for the new (and not so new) bead maker.

Beautiful, inspirational, and great instruction.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Glass Beads (Beadwork Books) (Hardcover)
Red alert to all bead lovers - you must have this book! Soon, we'll all have little lampwork set-ups in our own garages. Cindy Jenkins gives wonderfully detailed instructions. She shows you how to set up a workshop, how to make a simple bead, and then more and more detailed beads. I never intended to do lamp-work, and just bought this book on a whim becuase the pictures were so beautiful, but after reading it, I believe I could easily get started, without any additional hands on instruction.
