What is flameworking?
Flameworking is a type of glassblowing in which a torch is used to melt the glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing and shaping with tools and hand movements. It is a little easier for beginners and allows the student to do the process completely themselves.
It is also known as lampworking or torchworking.
