[Design and Technology] glass bead making: help and advice needed!

[Lucy Bowtell]

Hello fellow Design Techies,



I was hoping you could help me out.

I have purchased a kit and I am trying to set up a lampworking (glass bead making) station in the D&T year 11 classroom for my jewellery students.



I do lampworking at home on my kitchen bench, but I would like the process to be within OH&S regulations and really limit the chances of the students blowing themselves up on my watch.



Do you know of any schools currently doing lampworking? Anyone I could ask for some advice in relation to gas bottles, extraction fans, molten glass ect?



Thank you in advance,



Lucy Bowtell,



Dromana Secondary College.
