Hot Glass Flower Bead-Making Demo with Calvin Orr at The Bead Gallery, Honolulu!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Calvin Orr, the Bead-Dad of The Bead Gallery, Honolulu has been our main lampwork bead supplier for the last 24 years, and boy are we lucky! He's "retired" from teaching lampwork beadmaking, and only makes glass beads for fun, and we get first dibs, AKA ALL his beads, for you! Even luckier, I get to have dinner when I stop by to look at the newest beads! Winnah!!
In this video, he shows you the "2 pokes" secret of how to make his best-selling and fan favorite design - the plunged flower glass bead! The melting glass is mesmerizing to all of us, whether you make lampwork beads or not! Watching the rods of glass transform to a beautiful flower bead is always an amazing process, and we hope you enjoy!
Aloha!! Jamie, Jason, Calvin and the Bead Gang send you a HOT Hello from Hawaii!

My dear friend passed a couple of years ago and she willed me a huge bag of those glass beads. She just collected them cause she loved them so. We stayed up late at night on her computer looking for beads she liked. Well now they are mine. I really love them 💕
Lampwork beads are made with so much love- I hope they turn into beautiful pieces you can wear and honor your dear friend with ❤️❤️❤️ aloha- jamie
Sorry to hear about your friends passing. I can imagine your beads have fond memories attached.❤❤
What a treasure it must be to learn from a master like this gentleman. ❤
