Soda & Lime Glassworks: May 2015

I really enjoy making these glass earrings, they are some of my smallest work. I will be making these in lots of different colors this year. They are kiln annealed making them very durable. You can purchase similar ones from my etsy shop here. They are all hand sculpted in a torch flame one at a time by myself. The colors you see inside the clear glass are colored glass.

My home studio is located in the sea side town of St. Andrews, NB.

Profile

I love creating small art glass pieces. My creations are one-of-a-kind, hand crafted entirely freehand in a torch flame out of the finest Italian soda-lime glass rods. I love the nature of glass and the challenge of mastering it in its molten state. My work requires steady hands and patience. The inspiration for my pieces comes from flowers, sea creatures, the sky and outer space.

I have been working with soft glass since 2005. I have studied the craft of flameworked glass beads in Williamsburg, Massachusetts, and Central Hong Kong. Aside from these basic bead making courses, I consider myself "formally self taught" and my main focus is on creating implosion pendants and earrings.
