Contemporary glass beads, jewellery and lampwork glass beadmaking tuition


Welcome to my website.

Here you can browse in my gallery and you can shop for my lampworked glass beads & jewellery. All my work is individually handcrafted by me in West Sussex.

I am one of the few glass beadmakers and lampworking teachers in this country.  I make my glass beads using traditional lampworking techniques but with modern equipment in my dedicated glass studio.  I use the finest Venetian, German or American glass to make the beads and pair them with sterling silver.  Lampworking is the process of melting coloured glass rods around a steel mandrel using a high temperature flame.  The beads are then annealed in a digitally controlled kiln over many hours for durability.

Please email me for details about lampworking tuition or if you would like to buy any of the beads or jewellery you have seen on my site, or if you would like a bead made especially for you.

Tue 27 Sep 2011 - Exhibition at The Capitol, Horsham, and The Big Bead Show.

I am pleased to announce that my exhibition of work is in the Art Gallery in The Capitol, Horsham. I have invited my friend Katherine Haynes of Popped Bubble Designs to join me and we share the 5 cabinets upstairs in the gallery. The exhibition started Tuesday 6th September and runs until Sunday 9th October, and is open during the Capitol opening times. Please enquire at the box office if you wish to purchase anything on display.

Saturday 15th October sees the return of the Big Bead Show at Sandown Park, which is fast approaching. I’m busy getting ready for this event and look forward to welcoming you to my stall on the day. Please look out for my show newsletter when I hope to be able to offer some free tickets and show specials.

Mon 13 Jun 2011 - Horsham Artists Open Studios

It's that time of year again, when the many talented artists and craftspeople in Horsham fling open their doors to welcome you to have a look around their studios/exhibition space and browse their latest work. I am exhibiting again with Katherine Haynes, who recycles bubble wrap in an amazing way, dying it in gorgeous colours and making lovely wall hangings, bags, pictures, blinds, hair slides, garden decorations and all sorts of beautiful accessories.

I will have a cabinet full of jewellery, and lots of other small items to buy, including beads on thongs and my very own Sky Beads (un-cored big hole beads to suit Pandora style jewellery), my popular credit crunch range of earrings and a selection of greeting cards. I will also have some new Cloud Beads (big hole beads hand lined with silver tubing and compatible with Pandora) and a selection of chains to buy to wear your Cloud and Sky beads on.

Come and see me making glass beads and have some refreshments.
Weekends of 18, 19th June and 25th, 26th June, 11am to 6pm
We look forward to greeting you at 3 Windmill Close, Horsham, West Sussex, RH13 6BY
