I'm an artist making handmade lampwork beads and jewellery in a small workshop at my home in Chorley, Lancashire in the North West of the UK.

I've always loved making things, right from an early age but when I discovered jewellery making I was hooked... then when the lampworking bug hit, there was no way out! :)

I hope you like my work - I believe my enthusiasm for what I do is reflected in my finished pieces. I derive great satisfaction from not only making my own jewellery with my own beads, but also from seeing my beads used in beautiful pieces of art made by my customers.

All of my beads are made entirely by hand and are annealed in a digitally controlled kiln to ensure strength and durability. Each one is then cleaned by hand and thoroughly checked under a magnifying lens for cracks or imperfections; a final check is made at the point of packaging to ensure my valued customers will receive a perfect piece of art.

Thanks for looking - I hope you like my work! You can follow me on:
