Borosilicate Lampworking Education

The craft that
turns fire into
art. Now online.

"Most craft skills die in the workshop where they were born. The world never gets to see what happens when heat meets glass in careful, trained hands."

Flameform was built to change that. Borosilicate lampworking is one of the most technically demanding crafts in the world — it takes years to learn, costs thousands in workshop time, and almost nothing is available online. We're changing that, one course at a time.

From first flame to finished piece.

Foundations

Boro Lampworking Fundamentals

Torch setup, glass selection, annealing basics, and your first three projects. Everything you need to start working in boro with confidence.

  • Propane/oxygen torch setup & flame control
  • Borosilicate vs. soft glass — what matters
  • Mandrel prep, bead release, basic bead shapes
  • Kiln annealing — why it matters more than you think
  • Safety systems and ventilation
Patterns

Color & Pattern Work

The techniques that separate craftspeople from artists. Dot stacking, twisties, raking, and color application in a neutral flame.

  • Dot stacking and stringer work
  • Pulling twisties and using them in your designs
  • Reduction and striking — what your glass is really doing
  • Flame chemistry cheat sheet
Advanced

Implosions & Hollow Forms

The techniques that define professional boro work. Hollow vessels, pendants with embedded elements, and the implosion technique.

  • Blowing and hollow form construction
  • Implosion pendants — capturing light inside glass
  • Sealing, compatibility, and common failures
  • Building your personal style in boro

The whitespace in boro education.

No fluff. Real technique.

No slideshows, no theory-only content. Every lesson is built from what actually works at the torch — filmed in a real lampworking studio, with real glass.

Self-paced. No schedule.

Watch a lesson. Go to your torch. Come back when you're ready. Courses are available 24/7, accessible on any device, yours forever once you enroll.

One purchase. Infinite returns.

Once a course is built, it sells itself. No inventory, no shipping, no recurring work. Digital products are the only business model that actually generates residual income from a craft skill.

Built by a working lampworker.

Not a content team. Not a production studio. The person teaching these courses makes boro glass for a living. Every technique has been tested in the flame, not in a script.

The gap between wanting to learn boro and actually learning it has been enormous. Until now.

Flameform exists to make borosilicate lampworking accessible — to anyone willing to put in the hours at the torch. The craft has been waiting for a proper online home. This is it.
