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.
