GLASS ARTIST  

 

I am a glass artist making mosaics, fused and slumped pieces and lampwork beads. Recently I have started to work with silver, incorporating my lampwork beads into unique jewellery pieces. 

 

My love of glass began over 40 years ago when I had a small glass paperweight collection. I became interested in working with glass when I attended a local leadlighting class. With lots of scrap glass handy, I decided to venture into mosaics. This led me to becoming a member of the Mosaic Association of Australia and New Zealand (MAANZ). In the last 6 years, I have participated in a number of MAANZ exhibitions throughout Australia.

Late 2005, I attended a fused glass workshop and also a lampwork workshop in Melbourne. After purchasing a kiln and other equipment, I have enjoyed playing with glass at my home based studio.

I am also a member of the Bead Society of Victoria (BSU). For the last two years, I have participated in their annual bead expo in November. I aim to attend at least -2 new workshops each year to grow my skills.
