Beads

Glass beads were what first drew me to lampworking and are still what I make the most.  These beads come in all shapes and sizes – sometimes in matching sets, sometimes one of a kind.

Here is some of my recent work.  There are a lot more beads on Flickr, too.

Off-Mandrel work

Off-mandrel work is basically anything which doesn’t involve winding glass around a mandrel to form a bead.  It encompasses everything from pendants and vessels to icicles and wine glasses.

See more pendants and off-mandrel work on Flickr.

Jewelry

Sometimes I incorporate my beads and pendants into finished jewelry using materials like sterling silver, silk thread, seed beads and gemstones.
