Italian glass blowing techniques such as latticinio and zanfirico are adapted here to make beads. Furnace glass uses large decorated canes built up out of smaller canes, encased in clear glass and then extruded to form the beads with linear and twisting stripe patterns. No air is blown into the glass. These beads require a large scale glass furnace and annealing (glass) kiln for manufacture.
Modern glassblowing involves three furnaces. # 'The Furnace' holds the molten glass. # 'The Glory Hole'reheats the glass between molding/blowing processes. # 'The Annealer' is a 'cooling furnace'. The cooling strengthens the final product.
