Lampwork Beads - Beautiful One of a Kind Creations

The beads used in my jewelry are all made by hand in my studio in Westboro Village in Ottawa.  Each bead is a unique and beautiful creation. 
But what is Lampworking?
Lampworking or flameworking was developed thousands of years ago.  It is the art of melting rods of glass in the flame of a torch and winding the molten glass around a steel rod called a "mandrel".  The bead can be shaped and decorated while in the molten state.  Once the artist is satisfied with the bead it is placed in a kiln.  The kiln process is called "annealing" and it hardens and stabilizes the bead so that it is ready to be used.  If you'd like to see the process in action check out my YouTube channel 


Explore each page below to see a small sampling of the beautiful custom beads I have made and read more about their unique qualities.  Ready to browse?  Head over to  My Shop .  
Interested in customizing a piece with favourite colours, or having something designed for a special occasion I'm pleased to be able work with you. Contact me  and we can collaborate to make the perfect piece.
