Turbo Torch design provides more oxygen to the burning gas, which minimizes any darkening of light colored glass. Dial at base adjusts the flow of fuel so you can easily control your flame. Use with MAPP gas or propane (not included), available at most hardware stores.

The Hot Head Torch is Perfect for Beginners!

  •   Great little reducing torch
By on
Pros : Very Affordable Easy to use
Cons : This torch has a reducing flame, so you will never get the full color effect of glass requires an oxygen-rich flame to strike (like some borosilicate colors)
Other Thoughts : Overall, I would consider this to be a great (possibly the best) 'amateur' level torch. Great for the casual lampworker, but a pro lampworker will probably want to consider an oxy/acetylene torch instead.

  •   Hot Head Torch
By on
Pros : I have used this torch in Art Classes and found it to be excellent. I bought another type at the local hardware, but it does not produce the results that this torch does. Buy it.
Cons : None that I can think of excel perhaps it could be sold with a clamp for the gas cannister.

  •   Hot Hot Hot
By on
Pros : Since I am starting to do glass blowing I found my other head just didn't give me a big enough flame to keep all the glass hot. This one does. So far I am very happy with this head and would recommend it.
Cons : None that I have come across yet.

Beadmaking Basics
Oct 06, 2010
When I found Cindy Jenkins book Making Glass Beads back in 1998, I was immediately hooked on the idea of making glass beads. Id never seen handmade glass beads nor had I ever seen anyone make one. I was absolutely fascinated and I still am. Back then, the information was tough to find, but its much more popular now. I hope the following information will ease you into the fun world of making your own glass beads. Glass beadmaking is probably one of the easiest mediums to get started in when it comes to the tools and equipment you will need. Lets start by looking at the basic equipment Torch A good beginning torch is the Hot Head Torch which was made specifically for beadmaking. It burns hot and clean and runs off of a small MAPP gas tank (see description below). Work Surface Find an old table or desk.
Me, Myself, and My Torch

Well, hello there Carlise, my name is Cere. Its nice to meet you. As a flameworker, the most powerful tool at our disposal is the torch. From raw gas to burning flame, the torch provides the energy needed to take glass from solid state to molten magic. As someone that typically works with Borosillicate glass (32 or 33 COE), I tend to work towards the hotter parts of the flame, however, if you work with Moretti (104 COE), or soft glass, you may find the cooler areas beneficial to you. No matter what kind of glass you are melting in your torch, when properly familiar with the parts and type of the flame, you can bring your work to new levels. Q Oxidizing, Reducing and Neutral What kind of flame do I have, and what does that mean to me? A When being worked, many glass colors are sensitive
