Hello lovers of vintage, art, and all things FUNKY! I am please to announce another new vendor, and our first lampwork artist. I have to say, that I have a soft spot for lampwork beads, as I made them for four years, but quit when we moved to Florida. I LOVE the magical properties of glass...the way it catches light, the way it can be sculpted, etc. Lampwork beads are hand made using a torch and various colors of glass rods that are melted in the flame and carefully, meticulously coaxed into various shapes and decorated. It is an art that takes a lot of practice and skill.
Today's vendor is Barbara Swift. She hand makes her own glass beads & her husband is a silversmith. They create their our
own jewelry and wearables. They also tool and lace their our own leather. I am excited to see what they bring to the show, and judging by these pictures, I am sure their work will be breathtaking. Welcome to the show!
