I am a lampwork (glass bead making) artist based in Lower Hutt. I discovered lampworking while living in the UK, where I was able to rent time in a studio to indulge my new hobby. On returning to NZ, I discovered that I was not going to be able to use someone else's equipment, so I had to purchase my own, and now I have discovered the joy of being able to make beads whenever I feel like it.

I have my own teeny tiny studio where I create my colourful pieces. I am totally passionate about what I do, and frequently bore people to death on the subject of lampworking. I am just lucky I have such a patient husband.
