The Starving Artist's Lampwork Project Book includes 18 illustrated step-by-step lampworked glass projects for the beginning lampworker.

Also known as scientific glassblowing, lampwork is a method of manipulating glass rods and tubes in a gas torch flame to construct a variety of practical and artistic items. No furnace is required, and the necessary tools and materials can be readily obtained at reasonable cost.
