A selection of glass lampwork beads handmade by a Self Representing Artist* (SRA) based in Essex, using a dual fuel gas torch. All of our lampwork beads are annealed  in a digitally controlled Kiln for extra durability.

As each bead is handmade and handshaped at the torch, every bead is unique. A lot of time, effort, and love goes into every single bead!

So, if you like to make unique jewellery, treat yourself to some unique beads!

*Self Representing Artists are a group of artists dedicated to the art of lampworking, an ancient art form that flourished in Italy in the 1300s and then spread throughout Aurope, The Americas, and the rest of the World. Working at home in their own studios, they make beads, marbles or other glass objects one at a time. Patiently striving for perfection in every object made. They are from the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Israel, Germany... all over the world! One of the greatest challenges for self representing artists is to find ways to bring their art before the people who want to own it, and educating those buyers about the uniqueness and quality of their work.
