About
Lampwork involves melting glass over a torch and shaping it using tools, hand movement, and gravity.
I took my first glass class in 2020 and never looked back. From 2023-2024 I was a member of the Manitou Art Center in Colorado, learning under Jannine Scott (J9 Glass). In August 2024 I moved back to Winnipeg and joined the 618 ARTlington Collective, bringing lampwork back to the building and setting up my first studio.
I love playing with colours, shapes, and layers to create unique beads and trinkets! My hope is that jewelry artists find my beads and enjoy using them as much as I enjoy making them!
