Happy New Year!
Thanks to all those who have reached out in kindness and with support during this very difficult time. Due to circumstances, we won't be able to make it to Tucson this year as we had planned, but look for us again at the Best Bead show in 2008.
We'll be doing shows a couple of shows again, beginning in March
with Urban Glass in New York.
We look forward to seeing you all soon!
Updates:
- Featured beads may be purchased online using a Paypal shopping cart. For wholesale inquiries and orders, please contact us.
- Keep an eye out for new information about Bead Fest in 2007. Details coming soon...

Unique Miniature Vessels
These beads are made by winding thin glass rods (coil-potting) around the mandrel to create a hollow form. Once the hollow bead is made, hot air trapped inside expands and puffs up the shape.
Green Vessel $75
The surface is decorated, then handles and spout are sculpted from hot glass to create an amphora or pitcher shape. Vessels are unusual and striking as jewelry components or as collectible miniatures.
