Skills and Techniques
Wide range of glass skills, Mainly Flame-working to make beads and other mandrel based objects, also off mandrel work and working with borosilicate glass. I make sculptural beads such as goddesses, sculpted flower buttons, animals such as rabbits and lots more. I also have skills in silver-smithing so I can make my beads into wearable works of art. sometimes I use macrame to make jewellery or other items with my beads.

Beads that have unusual sculptural elements, and raised detailing are a constant feature of Madeline's work. manipulating the glass just the way she wants is both a delight and a challenge to her. She is constantly developing her skills by experimenting and testing new ideas & colours
Madeline's jewellery is often understated, the silverwork simple and clean, allowing the colours of the glass and the quality of the lampwork to shine through.
Her love of colours shows through in her work, unusual colour combinations a specialty, she says "There really isn't a colour I don't like, every colour has its place, and ideal partner, its about balance mainly, sometimes, a tiny splash of that vibrant yellow, juicy orange, or something like chartreuse, is enough to lift a piece from ordinary, into something stunning"
With her new studio now completed she is looking forward to spending more time extending her skills, teaching and sharing with others her love of lampwork.
