Welcome to Off-Mandrel.com!

We, Hamilton Taylor, have set up this website to answer a demand for a glass beadmaking resource in the west of Scotland.

As well as retailing beadmaking and lampworking tools and materials online, we will also be showing and selling our own work, and hopefully showcasing the work of other artists based both in Scotland and elsewhere.

If you are just starting out in beadmaking, we run beginners classes at our studio on the south side of Glasgow. See the '
Classes' page for details.

Of course, you don't have to take a class to
visit us! Instead of ordering your glass and tools online, why not drop in and browse through our stock? If you're in luck, the kettle might be just boiled...

...we look forward to seeing you!
