Born in 1959, Bandhu Dunham began to teach himself lampwork technique in 1975, while still in high school. Now an internationally respected glass artist, author and teacher, his work is in the permanent collections of museums in the US and abroad, including the Corning Museum of Glass, The Museum of Arts and Design, the Sandwich Glass Museum, Museum für Glaskunst (Germany), Niijima Glass Art Center (Japan), and Osaka University of Arts.

Bandhu’s Contemporary Lampworking books are the authoritative, standard instructional texts in his field. He regularly teaches workshops at craft schools and private studios around the United States and internationally.
