flamework
Heat-shaping glass beads
Flamework is the craft of shaping glass by heating it with a torch or flame, also called lampworking.
Artists use the technique to create beads, figurines, scientific apparatus, and decorative objects: She learned flamework to make her own glass jewelry.
The term emphasizes the flame as the heat source, distinguishing it from furnace-based glassblowing.
