A test on a larger #clay #bead . One of the challenges to being able to do this is to come up with a way to make clay base #beads that wouldn’t blow up because of thermal shock when introduced to a torch flame. I’ve apparently solved that problem. . This is #coe104 glass on a clay core bead. I used a makeshift #flameworking setup, so this isn’t some of my best work, but it does show that i can make a sizable bead that survives direct exposure to a flame. . #glass #glassofig #glassbeads #claybeads #lampworking #lampworkbeads https://www.instagram.com/p/B6RmclBnlFf/?igshid=6g56q6cbsiep
