Fun with glass

Di East had a Christmassy weekend of fun in Leicester
She is a very experience lampworker and I learnt a lot just from watching her work.

She creates some fantastic paperweight beads including all the components inside and gave us a demonstration on how to make one.


Sally Carver also made an appearance and showed us how to make an implosion bead like these:


Aren't they fantastic. She offers a tutorial on Etsy if you would like to know how to make them yourself

It was great to meet some other lampworkers many of whom I have corresponded with on the Frit Happens forum.
