My name is Diane Turton and I am married with one son, a daughter-in-law and a lovely new granddaughter and have my studio in an outbuilding in the same house that we have lived in for thirty years.

 I have been making glass beads for over eight 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 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.
