Fourteen years ago, my passion for glass led to me wonder if it was possible to make glass beads by hand. I soon found out, not only that is was possible, but that it was grand fun as well.
Over the years my glass love continued to grow and evolve. I went from collecting jelly jar glasses to telephone pole insulators to paper weights to vessels. My work at the torch evolved in the same way…. my desire to melt glass, taking it from something it was not and turning it into something functional, collectible, drove me to create many types of beads. The range of shapes and colors continues to drive me today, and I have recently been working on this series of Pomegranate Clouds, combining familiar bead styles with brand new colors.
