Hello all you lovers of beads and lampwork! I'm Janet Wood of Hotstuff Glass Creations, I've been lampworking now for 5 and
Interests
Jewelry, beads, lampwork, glass, metal work, knitting, baking, birds and parrots
Skills and Techniques
I make lampwork beads and place them in a digitally controlled bead kiln to \"harden\" them right out of the flame. This is the best way to anneal beads to prevent them from breakage. I use all kinds of glass, effettre (moretti), CIM Messy, Bullseye, Lauscha, silver glasses...too many to name!

Get to Know
A bit about me: I found that when I was first divorced and moved into my own place that money was tight and I needed to find a way to fulfill my creative side as well as bring in extra money. I took a Saturday lampwork bead course locally and just fell in love with it immediately. I signed up the second intermediate course and found a million different ways to make beads, all the colours and techniques that you can do and get is amazing! I started making jewelry when I was around 10 years old, with seed beads and fishing line, I would make rings and sell them to friends and neigbours, funny how life turns out the way it does. Now I tell people that can\'t figure out what they want to do in life...do what you love, the rest will follow!
