I am a
lampwork glass bead artist who loves colour. I graduated from Winchester School
of Art
with
a
degree
in textile design, specialising in weave and worked as a
freelance textile
designer
selling my designs
to
fashion
houses,
including
Donna Karan and Calvin Klein.
Colour inspires, colour captivates - whether
the
soft blush
of a
duck egg or the
vibrant show
of a
tropical flower - colour just
reaches out and
grabs
me.
For me
and my work, colour is
everything.
Modern lampwork artists have some
fantastic equipment at their disposal not forgetting
a
wonderful
array
of glass
to use. I mainly use soft, and occasionally borosilicate, glass
for
my beads,
all
of which
are
annealed
in a kiln to ensure their strength and durability.
My beads (and
from time to time
my
jewellery)
are available for sale either
through
this site or
from
various
events
throughout the year.
A list
of
my current planned
events can be found here.
