Handmade Lampwork Glass Bead Artist
Specialising in Homewares & Jewellery
I am a local Melbourne lamp work glass bead Artist. I have been making glass beads for many years and have been a student of some of the world’s best tutors including:
- Corina Tettinger U.S.A
- Loren Stump U.S.A
- Holly Cooper U.S.A
- Leah Fairbanks U.S.A
I use glass rods which I melt down. All of the colours and decorations on the beads are glass. I use different techniques to pull glass from different coloured glass rods and incorporate them back into each bead. Every piece is unique as with molten glass is impossible to reproduce designs exactly.
I like to make useful items with my beads which I hope you will treasure as much as I enjoy making them.
My jewellery has traveled to England, Ireland, Italy, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Turkey, New Zealand, Africa Canada and the USA.

I was talked into entering one of my pieces for the first time by good friend Michael Bertoli. I was lucky enough to reach the finals and the piece sold which was even better.
The Convenor – MAGE 2014 Gilli Bruce had this to say;
“Your gorgeous pendant was the very first piece to be sold at the exhibition (and we could have sold it several times – people loved it)”
