Glass lampworked around threaded rods. Can I do this myself??
I’m a sculptor with very limited bead making experience. As in I technically know how to do it and have access to a setup but am fully a novice. I recently purchased these antique knobs in Japan for a project. They seem to just be lampworked glass directly on a threaded rod. I had no idea this was possible and it would be INCREDIBLY helpful to my process if I could make these instead of hunting for them. The largest of them is like 15mm
Any ideas what type of glass this would need to be? Do we think they’re just standard bolts? Is it really as simple as it looks? I have access to marble forms and a wide range of tools via my makerspace.
