The Aventurine Dream studio is now back in operation after a big remodeling project but I'm not in it! I'm on a short term assignment in Singapore but trying to keep up flameworking a bit. Will be back in the U.S. in early May.

I'll be at the ISGB Gathering bead bazaar in Miami in late July 2009.

I started making lampwork glass beads some years ago but in 2004 finally settled into a year-round studio using natural gas and an oxygen concentrator. I make beads, buttons, rings and knobs as well as some finished jewelry, mainly featuring whimsical cats, birds and fish as you see here. I'm located in Minneapolis. I'm a member of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers as well as an officer of our local chapter called the Star of the North Glassworkers .
