I've never done it but I think metal bead fabrication sounds fascinating! I hope some metal bead makers step up and contribute to the discussion, I'd love to hear more about it.
Read the full replyHello!! I've been lurking for a while and enjoying the discussions and wonderful lampwork bead designs. Anyone out there fabricate metal beads? Would love to see some examples and have a discussion of techniques. I've worked with metal clay and am presently doing a repousse class.

A lot of folks use precious metal clay to make custom beads.

I'm working on some tension set copper and silver beads, but I'm still practicing doming!
