My name is Diane and I have been making glass beads for over nine years. After having picked up a lampworking book by Cindy Jenkins I was intrigued and had to learn more. Once I learned more I took some classes with Diana East, one of the foremost glass beadmakers in the UK,  and was hooked.

 All my beads are handmade by me and go straight from the lampworking torch into a digitally controlled kiln to be annealed overnight for strength and durability. They are thoroughly cleaned of bead release and finished in an ultrasonic bath for extra sparkle. 

I have a background in textiles and mixed media and the silk ribbons and strings fit in well with lampwork items.  They are very popular with jewellery makers and are beautifully soft to the touch.

 I am a self representing artist No. T43

  I do hope you find something to interest you and if you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me.
