An inexpensive way to begin learning lampworking. Even so, a large number of artists choose to stay with the Hot Head torch, rather than investing in a larger, more expensive torch.
This torch was designed with glassblowers in mind. It uses disposable propane or MAPP gas bottles (available at most hardware stores and home centers), and does not require additional oxygen or compressed air.
The Hot Head torch is not as hot as an oxy/fuel torch, but you can still make soft-glass beads, marbles, and small sculptural pieces (albeit a bit slower than with an oxy/fuel torch). A good, inexpensive way to 'test the waters', and see if you enjoy working with hot glass.
The unique design of this torch head produces a clean, hot flame with inexpensive propane or MAPP gas. 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.
