I have been making glass beads for a while now after a 20+ year stint as a potter.
From the first day on the torch I fell in love with glass and the possabilities it presented.
I love the magic and mystery of it all.
I get a thrill working with the molten glass and trying to mold it into my vision of what the bead should be. Most of what I do are organic beads formed with very earthy colors but one day a week I have the "get funky" torch session where I work with colors and techniques I don't ususally use.
