Lampwork, flamework, or torchwork beads are made one at a time, in the flame of a torch, using rods of colored glass. The earliest torches were actually oil lamps, giving us the term lampwork. Good quality lampwork beads are more than just beads. They're small, intricate, wearable pieces of art glass, meant to be worn, treasured, and passed from hand to hand for generations to come.
