what is lampwork?
Modern lampwork or flamework uses gas and oxygen to melt coloured rods of glass in a flame.
The term lampwork comes from the original method of production, which involved blowing air and using oil-fueled lamps.
Artists shape and decorate the glass in the flame. Finally, the glass is put in a kiln to anneal, which is like a massage for internal stresses. This makes the glass strong again.
