And, our Email address: FlamingFools@pacbell.net Flaming Fools on FaceBook - Become a Fan! Here is a clickable preview of some of our work which is currently for sale on Etsy. Our glass beads are made in our loggia studio, looking out at the gardens for inspiration, using a torch with Effetre/Moretti glasses from Murano, Italy, and Double Helix and Kugler silvered glasses. The are formed and shaped primarily using centrifugal force and gravity. Depending on the final shape desired, paddles and presses may be used. All pieces are slowly annealed and cooled in a digitally controlled kiln, giving them strength and durability. We make individual beads and sets of beads for use in jewelry of your own creation. Occasionally we make finished jewelry pieces, and somethimes small blown-glass pieces. We are members of SRA, Self Representing Artists, a group of glass artists who are dedicated to the art of lampworking, an ancient art form that flourished in Italy in the 1300s and then spread throughout Europe, the Americas and the rest of the world.
