LALA LAMPWORK BEADS BY HELEN MITCHELL

Welcome to my Website

I am a complete glass and bead addict, I just love them, they have taken over my life and I think about them everyday. I have a converted shed for my workshop at the bottom of my little garden where I make all my beads.

I get mesmerised by the flame and each day I am totally amazed by the capabilities of hot molten glass.  Its so rewarding when you open the kiln after a bead session normally the following morning and you see what has survived the kiln monster!

Heres my bluebird kiln

I love making sets of beads, there is something in me that likes to try and a make good amount of beads so that they can easily be made into jewellery.  Also animal beads are a favourite of mine, its like they pop out the kiln with their won little personalities!! (yes I know I am quite crazy!!!)

I am a member of GBUK and a self representing artist.  My membership number is M125.  All my beads are annealled in my digital kiln for hardening and then carefully cleaned
