I am a secondary teacher in Australia with an interest in all things creative - I sing, perform in musical theatre, write, paint and of course, make glass beads. Melting glass is my addiction!

I have been making glass beads for about 6 years. In 2007 I attended the International Society of Glass Beadmakers annual conference as an International Scholarship winner. It was an amazing experience, a great chance for learning, and to meet all of the wonderful beadmakers I have met online.

I also teach beadmaking, under the name 'Flaming Hot Beadmaking Classes'. Further information is available on my website www.solarflarecreations.com.au.
