Peeling Clear Glass

The scum on clear glass has long been a problem for lampwork bead makers. Whether you are adding clear dots or encasing an aquarium bead, this problem has been a curse to people working soft glass in a torch. My paperweight style pendant bead is made using a Stump Sucker and a large gathering of clear. I developed this technique out of necessity. The inspiration came from using Shott Glass pucks in a class by Loren Stump. The pucks peeled easily, so I decided that would be a beginning place for peeled, perfectly clear glass. I use 17-18mm rods of clear cut to 30 gram pieces for this technique. If you don't have a glass saw, consider purchasing your pieces, already cut, from me using the cart below the video.
