FAQ

Do you sell wholesale?  Yes, you must purchase $250 or more to receive a 20% discount.

Do you guarantee your work?  Yes, 100%.  I try very hard to use only the best materials.  I anneal my beads in a properly programmed kin for strength and durability.  However, sometimes, despite best efforts accidents happen.  I am more than happy rectify any problems that may arise with your beads or jewelry (regardless of fault).  I want you to be 100% satisfied.  If it has been a while since your original purchase and your jewelry needs to be restrung or cleaned up etc....  I may charge you a minimal fee for additional time and materials.

Do you do custom orders?  Yes and No.  I am happy to help you put together a special piece of jewelry for a special gift or that special outfit etc....  However, I am not taking special orders on numerous specific beads.  I hope you understand, it really stifles my creativity and makes making beads more of a chore than the joy that it should be.

Do you host Girl Scout or Brownie troops?  Yes, I have had a number of troops here and we've had a wonderful time.  I usually split the troop up and one half gets a tour of my studio, information on safety, glass making techniques and tools as well as a demonstration.  The other half of the troop will spend the time making a necklace or bracelet with seed beads, memory wire and one of my special handmade glass beads.  What a great way to finish up their jewelry making badge!

Do you teach lampworking?  I would love to pass on my knowledge and love of this art form to anyone who would be interested.  I am a certified art teacher and have been lampworking for 5 years.

Do you do home shows?  Yes, when I feel I have enough jewelry inventory.  Unfortunately, there are many times when I do not have much jewelry made, because I do prefer making beads over making jewelry.  Therefore, I tend to focus on making beads for bead shows and jewelry designers.  However, please feel free to ask and given enough time, we can usually work something out.  I give discounts or % of sales to the hostess.
