Thanks for visiting my ME page.
Hi, I'm Tracey and I run Dichroic-Sparkle-UK. I design and create wearable mini pieces of art made from kiln fused dichroic glass in my own glass studio.
I live and work in the village of Ecclesfield in Sheffield where I was born and raised with my two wonderful boys, my partner Darren and beautiful two cats.
I'm originally a Hypnotherapist and second degree reiki practitioner by profession but art and glass are my passion, so its taken over and I love it.
I also make glass lampwork beads after attending a course taught by Diana Arseneau, learnt lots of exciting new ways to be creative with glass, so watch this space!
I'd like to say a big thankyou to all my customers old and new for all your support and custom. Please feel free to email me with any questions or requests as I make items to order.

All my items are hand made by myself using only the finest genuine dichroic glass and lampwork glass rods, they are also kiln annealed overnight to remove unwanted stresses or weaknesses and to add strength to the piece.
Q: What is dichroic glass ?
A: Dichroic glass was originally developed by N.A.S.A for the space industry. The main characteristic of Dichroic glass is that it has a transmitted colour and a completely different reflective colour, these two colours shift depending on the angle of view. With the play of light together with its vibrant colours dichroic glass makes a wonderful medium for jewellery. Dichroic glass can then be kiln fused with other glass in multiple firings. Certain wavelenghts of light will either pass through or be reflected causing an array of colours to be visible. Due to variations in the firing process individual results can never be exactly reproduced, each piece of fused dichroic glass is unique.
Q: What is lampworked glass ?
A: Lampworking is a type of glasswork that uses a propane/oxygen fueled hot flame torch to melt rods of clear and coloured glass. Once in a molten state, the glass/bead is formed by slowly winding onto a mandrel (metal rod) and shaping with a variety of tools and hand movements. It is also known as flameworking or torchworking.
