About Me and My Beads

My name is Laura Sparling and I am a full time glass artist.

I work from my 'home studio' (converted garden shed!) in Southampton creating glass beads using the

age-old craft of lampwork. 

I adore colour and am always looking for new colour combinations.  I find them in the strangest of places - clothes shops, gardens, movies, home furnishing catalogues . . . the list is endless!

 

 

I sell my beads through eBay and my personal website.

My beads are temporarily strung ready for jewellery makers to turn them into wonderful works of wearable art!

I anneal my beads in a digitally controlled kiln to ensure strength and durability.

The beads are then thoroughly cleaned.
