**NEW** Online Classes Coming Soon! Join the Waitlist…
Hello fellow glass enthusiastists!
First, I very much hope you are safe and sound and doing well during this challenging time.
If there can be any silver lining from having to stay home during this impossible situation, it may be that we now have an opportunity to discover (or rediscover) our creative side. 🙂
For me that means working toward getting back to the torch and once again making the lampwork glass art beads I love so much!
Our family recently moved and we are still in the process of setting up my new glass studio.
I am so excited because it will be better than ever – I can’t wait for it to be ready! I will finally have a completely dedicated space where I can dive into my passion for melting glass.
This new space will also allow me to offer a virtual LIVE class experience that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home studio!
*CLICK HERE TO GET ON THE WAITLIST FOR MY FIRST CLASS*
Once I am up and running, I plan to offer a 3 Day Workshop, through LIVE video, teaching how I make my very popular Encased Seascape Murrini Beads.
This class – taught in real time with the recordings included – will teach you a multitude of skills!
I will take you from those very first steps of creating the foundational elements – including making murrini cane as well as the other little details that go into these Beads – all the way through to encasing and finishing the final bead.
This is like getting all three of my tutorials, taught to you LIVE and step-by-step, in ONE 3-day class. 😀
Glass artists at any level can enjoy this Workshop!
Beginners will be challenged, and their skills will be stretched, taking them to the next level in their learning. While advanced artists will learn all my secrets, my methodology and will pick up several new skills they may not have had a chance to try yet.
These are my tried and true techniques that I have used to make my best-selling Encased Seascape Murrini Beads for over 10 years.
Everything will be broadcasted LIVE and will also be recorded so you can watch the videos again and again.
The content will be conveniently presented to you through a private Facebook group for students only so you will get the personal attention and one-on-one support that is vital to your success as a glass artist.
I greatly look forward to teaching you the skills I have honed since I started lampworking in 2008 through the wonders of today’s technology!

New Beads – Lampwork Sets & Focals
After enjoying some time off, and taking a creative detour for a while, I am finally back to making lampwork bead sets just for jewelry makers and collectors.
I have had so many new ideas and designs in my head just waiting to become a reality in glass. Here are some of the recent results:
New Beads – Just Listed
This week’s beads feature designs in varying shades of one of my favorite colors – pink!
This “Black Opal” bead uses a fantastic technique generously shared with the entire lampworking community by Amber of Naos Glass. It uses fine silver foil and silver glass to create amazing colors like rich orange and honey with bright flashes of intense cobalt blue and violet.
In “Rosewood”, I used Rubino Oro (which gets its fuchsia hue from real gold!) over dark silver plum creating a lovely, soft mauve-rose shade. The hand blown, reactive silver glass shards layered on top add a unique organic element with the webbing effect created in the flame.
“Ruby Storm” is a large hole bead that has multiple facets of a deep rose-red colored glass with specially treated ‘Stormed’ stringer on top which creates the floating swirls.
With “Pink Dew”, fine silver mesh is encapsulated beneath a thick layer of crystal clear glass. Once the glass is super heated to a molten state the mesh pulls apart to create all the tiny silver beads you see in the photo. A great effect – and a stunning bead to have as an addition to your Pandora bead collection.
All beads are available now on eBay – just click the images above to visit my store 🙂
New Beads This Week
Though we’ve experienced some frigid temperatures in recent weeks, the past few days have been unseasonably, but wonderfully, warm and breezy. It is absolutely perfect weather that has me pining for Spring and all the beautiful flowers that come with it.
In the meantime I have been having a lot of fun creating some flowers out of glass. This week’s beads feature many pretty designs from 3 dimensional raised flowers to smooth and shiny encased designs as well.
All items are available for purchase now – click the images below to visit my eBay store for more information 🙂
