HISTORY
The "lamp" of lampwork glass, historically was the heat source originally used to melt the glass cane. Prevelent in beadmaking, an artist makes beads using a rod called a mandrel, sticks of glass and a torch. They melt the glass with the torch and swirl it onto the mandrel. When the base bead has been formed, other colors of glass can be added to the surface to create many designs. They can also add decorations like flowers, dots and ribbons by placing tiny strings or dots of molten glass on the bead. After this initial stage of the bead making process, the bead can be further fired in a kiln to make it more durable. The end result is a beautiful bead that is truly individual.
Lampwork is an ancient technique of using a flame to melt glass. Hot glass working skills came to us from a long history starting with the Syrians around 1700 BC, the Egyptians around 1450 BC, the Chinese around 550 BC, the Romans at the turn of the first millennium, and with the French, German, Italian, Indian and Islamic folks bringing us up to the present. The "lamp" in lampwork came from the oil lamps and blowpipes originally used in seventeenth century France and Italy. Blowing by mouth or with a bellows into an oil lamp flame with a small pipe makes just enough heat to soften and form the softer types of glass.
Lampworking became widely practiced in Murano, Italy in the 14th century - and thus these pieces are often referred to as "Murano" glass. In the mid 19th century lampwork technique was extended to the production of paperweights, primarily in France, where it became a popular art form, still collected today.

FUN FACTS
The now internationally recognized symbol for peace was originally designed for the British nuclear disarmament movement by Gerald Holtom in 1958. Holtom's design, the original of which is housed in the Peace Museum in Bradford, England, was adapted by Eric Austen (1922–1999) to ceramic lapel badges. The symbol is a combination of the semaphore signals for the letters "N" and "D," standing for "nuclear disarmament". In semaphore the letter "N" is formed by a person holding two flags in an inverted "V," and the letter "D" is formed by holding one flag pointed straight up and the other pointed straight down. Superimposing these two signs forms the shape of the centre of the peace symbol. The symbol became the badge of Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and wearing it became a sign of support for unilateral nuclear disarmament by Britain. An account of CND's early history described it as "a visual adhesive to bind the [Aldermaston] March and later the whole Campaign together ... probably the most powerful, memorable and adaptable image ever designed for a secular cause." Not patented or restricted, the symbol spread beyond CND and was adopted by the wider anti-war movement. It became known in the United States in 1958 when Albert Bigelow, a pacifist protester, sailed a small boat fitted with the CND banner into the vicinity of a nuclear test. In 1960 buttons with the symbol were imported into the United States, when the Student Peace Union adopted the symbol. Between 1960 and 1964 they sold thousands of the buttons on U.S. college campuses. By end of the decade it had become a generic peace sign, crossing national and cultural boundaries.
