3 Foxes
Denise Billups Walker (Fire Dance Lampwork Beads and Jewelry) - There’s something hypnotic about working in a flame with molten glass. I chose the name Fire Dance from an old lampworking term used to describe the movement of the glass within the flame.
I find inspiration in many places, including Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – a place we’ve visited every year for the past 18 years. The colors there are so bright and vivid… and I enjoy the work of Manuel Lepe who’s paintings are very colorful, naïve and whimsical.
Working with hot glass gives me a feeling of satisfaction, accomplishment and fulfillment. I hope that you will enjoy my work – and that some of it will bring a smile to your face.
Joy Cichewicz (Works of Joy) - My heart and hands have always been busy creating something artistic with paints, metals, textiles, and stained glass. From the time I made my first bead, I was single-mindedly obsessed with reshaping hot glass, both with a torch and in a kiln.
Recent inspirations have come from creating animals with anthropomorphic bodies and from changing recycled glass into something useful and fun. Every piece teaches me something new about solving technical problems, creating patterns, working with transparent and opaque colors, and shaping glass. Working with glass keeps me excited because there are such an incredible number of paths to explore. I hope to spend many more years creating ‘Works of Joy! ‘."
Kathleen Robinson-Young (Kollectibles by Kathleen) - Working with hot glass has been my passion for the last 5 years....I dream sleep, eat, and breath glass most of my waking day...
Like most glass artists I started in my kitchen, quickly outgrew that, moved into my dungeon - my basement - and then moved into my studio in Berkley Michigan, where I teach and sell my glass beads and beads of local Michigan lampworkers.
I have found glass bead making to be one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. I become mesmerized by what happens when the flame and the glass meet - the dance that begins between the two. Nothing matches my excitement more than opening my kiln to see what surprises await me the next morning
There's no greater flattery than seeing a pair of my earrings on someone's ears, my bracelets on their arm, and my necklaces around their neck.
