Flamework Demonstration - How I Make A Disk Bead With Concentric Rings

- This is a close up view from my studio as I make a large disk bead start to finish. I love to use this bead as a demonstration and teaching tool. It is a fun bead to make and really helps students understand how to build up a large disk shape at the torch. Alternating colors not only adds to the challenge but helps one understand each layer independently. I consider this a great skill building bead that can be practiced in any number of color combinations.
I am using Effetre COE 104 glass
Torch: GTT Lynx

Thank you so much for sharing your talent. It's greatly appreciated by those of us with lesser skills or resources. You are very generous with your gift and it is a lovely contribution to the glass art world.
You are very welcome! I appreciate your kind words and I’m happy to hear that these videos help others 💕
Your work is _magnificent,_ Kristina!
You are kind to say so!
Thank you! 🌸🥰
Thanks so much, Kristina! I so appreciate your generosity, sharing your skills and yourself, and all aspects of your videos.
You are so welcome! 🥰🙏🏼
No experimenting here! Just pure relaxing enjoyment of watching a master at work.
Glad you enjoy it! 🙏🏼😊🔥
"If you build it, they will come!" -- for whatever reason, I'm thinking of crop circles here, Kristina.👽Maybe because your beads are simply out of this world!😸Truly appreciate you making this video. Love the camera angles and close ups -- very helpful for me to see the fine details of your well-honed technique. Time and patience -- I'm find this comforting because that just means the more I do, the better I get. And with time, it only can get better. My beads will age beautifully with me. That's poetry. 😉
You are very welcome! And yes indeed, keep working, practicing, playing and exploring and you will improve 👍😊. I am very happy to hear that you benefit from this video 🥰
You always make it look so easy even though this bead is far from easy! Thank you for your videos Kristina:)
You are very welcome! 🙏🏼😊! This bead does look deceptively simple. Working on it definitely is a skill builder 👍
For anyone who spins their own yarn- would these styles of beads work? It would be really cool if you can! The beads came out great!
Thank you! I have had questions about spinning yarn with a bead on a spindle but have never tried it.
i love your videos very much. I can not wait to see more content over the coming years. I love all your explanations of what you are doing. Thank you!
Thank you for watching and I appreciate your comments! I am excited to share more and have additional videos in the works 👍😊
Beautiful! So skillful!
🙏🏼😊
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Thank you for posting this video! I'm going to give this a try this weekend. I already have some 1/4 inch mandrels to work with.
Good luck! And I hope you find some tips in here that are helpful! 🔥🔥
Lovely
Thank you 😊

All seems right with the world when I’m watching a Kristina Logan video!
Questions for you, please: how were you able to retrieve the warm rods from your kiln without lifting a kiln door? I have 2 kilns and both have doors I must open and close. Next, how are your eyes? Do you see the actual glass colors through those lenses of yours or do the colors look different?
Finally, the beads on your table are beautiful! Thank you for this video!
Thanks for watching and your thoughtful questions.😊
The door to my kiln can be opened just a crack for the glass rods to slip in and out of when I am working.
The glasses I use have both corrective and didymium lenses so I can see through the soda flare and all the details quite well. 👍🔥
Thanks for your video - I can see how one would need to double the rods to quickly get a large gather of glass. It would be so much easier to control with two instead of one rod.
Sometimes your beads look so perfect - do you ever cold-work them to make sure the sides are perfectly flat?
I’m happy that you picked up on this detail!
If you look at the graphite plate in front of my torch, you will see a very flat disk bead (green and ivory) that I coldworked flat. I wanted to see what the rings would look like. Besides experimenting like this, I normally do not coldwork my disks.😊
